You have two choices (both require SOME transfer capability, such as a
modem on each end, or a serial link):

(a) "BSAVE ROMS, A$D000, L$3000", and then transfer that in binary mode, or
(b) I've forgotten most of my Applesoft(R) BASIC, but here goes nothing...

  0  REM ROM-TO-ASCII PROGRAM
 10  D$ = CHR$(4);
 20  PRINT D$;"OPEN ROMFILE"
 30  PRINT D$;"WRITE ROMFILE"
100  REM START OF LOOP PART
110  FOR I = 53248 TO 65535 STEP 16: REM WE WANT D000-FFFF, RIGHT?
120    FOR J = 0 TO 15 
130      X = PEEK(I+J)
140      LOW = X / 16
150      HIGH = X - (LOW * 16): REM NO MOD IN APPLESOFT, AS I RECALL
160      IF HIGH<10 THEN PRINT HIGH; : GOTO 170
165      PRINT CHR$(HIGH+55);
170      IF LOW<10 THEN PRINT LOW;" "; : GOTO 180
175      PRINT CHR$(LOW+55);" "; : REM OKAY, SO THERE ARE FASTER WAYS...
180    NEXT J
190    PRINT
200  NEXT I
210  PRINT D$;"CLOSE ROMFILE"
220  END

So it's slow.  Big deal.  You only have to do it once. Now, transfer
the text file to your IBM-clone in text mode, and then run something
like...

/* ASCII-to-binary */

#include <stdio.h>
#define BUFSIZE 1024

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    unsigned short i = 0;
    unsigned char a[BUFSIZE];
    FILE *ifp, *ofp;
    
    if (argc != 3)
    {
	fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s inputfile outputfile\n", argv[0])
	exit(1);
    }
    if (!strcmp(argv[1], argv[2])) {
	fprintf(stderr, "input and output filenames must be different.\n");
	exit(1);
    }
    if ((ifp = fopen(argv[1], "r")) == NULL) {
	perror(argv[1]);
	exit(2);
    }
    if ((ofp = fopen(argv[2], "wb")) == NULL) {
	perror(argv[2]);
	fclose(ifp);
	exit(3);
    }

    while (fscanf(ifp, "%x", &a[i++]))
	if (i >= BUFSIZE) {
	    fwrite(a, i, 1, ofp);  /* bombs if sizeof(unsigned char) != 1 */
	    i = 0;
	}

    if (i < BUFSIZE)
	fwrite(a, i, 1, ofp);
    fclose(ofp);
    fclose(ifp);
}

God knows how much revenue it would cost apple if everyone gave five friends
copies of the Apple ]['s super duper proprietary whizzbang state-of-the-art
ROMS. But you can make yourself a more or less legal copy if you happen to
have a ][ lying around.

Here's what I have on an ancient notepad (I don't have an apple so I have
no way of knowing whether its the right chicken scratch).

BSAVE APPLE.ROM, A$D000, L$3000
BSAVE FLOPPY.ROM, A$C600, L256
BSAVE SERIAL.ROM, A$C200, L256

And strip off the first four bytes and trailing junk.

On second thought, maybe I should have posted this anonymously.
