the problem is that a cartridge may (almost) completely change the memory map 
based on which address is accessed, so not only would it be quite complex to 
even get this kind of info from the monitor - you'd also have to query it 
every time before reading each byte to make sure that you will actually get 
what the cpu will access. and the vice monitor provides all that functionality 
already (for the most part atleast, its broken in some areas, as said).
