So they're not just extracted from the aether, then?
Add these two lines to get the error codes:

15 IF PEEK 23688=33 THEN PRINT CHR$ n;" ";: LET n=n+1+7*(n=57)

This works with Interface 1 or the ZZ-Spectrum emulator.
The first line is required for ZZ-Spectrum only.

Two of these messages don't appear in the manual.

If you select the 128K with Interface 1 Option (or you have the real
thing) then you could have an all singing all dancing program that
printed three sets of messages.
here's the Toaster part
10 SAVE ! "m128" CODE 1164,241
20 LOAD ! "m128" CODE 50000
30 FOR i = 50000 TO 50240

Yes this is in ROM 1 at address $2AA8 after the "Code length error"
message. It is followed by "Hello there".
A useful program to find messages in ROMs and other programs is Utility
3 from The Utilities section of WOS. (Plug tax on its way). It will work
with all the hardware configurations of RealSpec, ZX32, et al. -
Interface 1, Spectrum +2, +3 etc.
Initials are another thing to look for. MB (Martin Brennan of Atari
Jaguar fame) appears in the Interface 1 ROM and at the end of one of the
128K BASIC ROMs. Also RG (Rupert Goodwin) and AC (A Contractor?) and KM.
Back on the Plus 3 in ROM 0 there is the extensive factory test system
V4.0 1987 by RG (Dr. Rupe again), CL (Cliff Lawson) and VO (?).
There are warnings to TAKE CARE THESE TESTS REQUIRE FACTORY TEST
EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Difficult to get in there but lots of error messages relating to the ULA
and IC7 and IC8 etc. These sort of count.

nope.. they appear as i typed them. for example:
Destination cannot be wild, 0:1
interestingly, the error "+2A does not support format" appears on both the
+2A and the +3 when you POKE 23610,76
never seen it in an actual error situation though. hmmm

"At 2AA8 is the message "You should never see this". It is right, because
error messages are generated from a message address table, and the address
of this message isn't in that table."
POKE 23610,80 and ,81 do display the two joke messages on a +2A.

As I discovered by accident one day while playing about with POKEs (oo-er).
I think I must have picked 23610 because it was the next one up from the
cool beep thingy. When I realised that they were displaying all the error
messags I kept going all the way into the gibberish ones. The discovery of
the above two messages is right up there as one of my most exciting
Speccy-related moments ever.
Sadly.

Yes this is correct. I see now that the table of addresses immediately
precedes the table of error messages. I imagined, since every message
(except "Hello there") is terminated by having bit 7 set, that it would
just increment a message number every time it started a new message as
it does for the standard ROM messages.

Equally mystified, as this doesn't happen with my RealSpec emulator, I
downloaded the version 4.1 ROMs from Philip Kendall's site
http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pak21/spectrum/roms.html
and combined them together into a single 64K ROM file (perhaps they
should also be available in this ready-to-roll format) and sure
enough the messages appeared when 23610 was poked.
Seems that,
if your +2A/+3 is V4.0 then PEEK 19 gives 167 (not 255)
if your +2A/+3 is V4.1 then PEEK 20 gives 21 (not 255)
The message "You should not see this" is a little higher at $2C1A
and its entry in the table is at $28DB.

I started using DOS about 5 years ago having gone straight from the
Spectrum to Unix and just couldn't hack it so downloaded Unix Utilities
for DOS, perl and gawk etc.
However my cat.exe can't use wildcards so it wasn't as simple as the cat

Have you tried typing FORMAT "m:" on a +2A? I think that does it, IIRC. I

Yeah I've had a couple of e-mailed replies from other people who know
about this stuff saying that, although it's not absolutely guaranteed,
in practice any *nix shell that didn't expand wildcards in ASCII order
would be rendering itself very incompatible, so in general they all do.

I've always had directory in my DOS path full of tiny batch files for
the same reason. (ls.bat, cat.bat, etc) just to catch my most common
slips (obviously they handle switches, parameters and pipes differently,
but it works for the majority of simple cases).

Or using AmigaDOS:
join plus3-41-0.rom plus3-41-1.rom plus3-41-2.rom plus3-41-3.rom as
plus3-41.rom
(and no I don't know whether you can do this using wildcards, I've never
tried because I suspect the files will get joined in the wrong order if
it even accepts them)

A quick test reveals that you can use wildcards with "join", but the files
get joined backwards, ie. files named "1", "2" and "3" get joined in the
order "3", "2" and "1". Trying to be clever and using the "list" command to
output to a file, then using that as an argument string, doesn't work
either.

...but FORMAT "a:" does the trick :)
