Code:

POKE "D0000","B3DDDDDE" ... set RAM identifier
POKE "2C004","95" ... config as RAM in the FRAM71
On/off
FREE PORT(5.01)
COPY MATH2B5:TAPE TO :PORT(5.01)
POKE "D0000","00000000" ... remove RAM identifier
POKE "2C004","D5" ... config as ROM
On/off
VER$ ... recognized Math:2b

Just for information, the POKEs to D0000 have no significant effect. The first POKE to D0000 does nothing as the memory is initially ROM. You can verify this by PEEKing D0000. The second POKE to D0000 to remove the IRAM identifier has no significant effect for two reasons.

1. A ROM can run with an IRAM identifier - look at the Finance ROM.
2. The file copied to PORT(5.01) is a LEX file (I presume) which runs just fine in an IRAM.

EDIT: The fourth byte of a ROM contains a checksum, so by POKEing zeros to D0000 you're likely invalidating the checksum. See the ROMCOPY doc.
