You should not do it. Taking a memory dump of the I/O region
($D000-$DFFF) should not be done unless really necessary.

Reason: VICE emulates the floppy drives in a "lazy" manner. They are not
emulated unless it is needed. If you read the CIA, you might have many
thousand cycles of the floppy drive executed.

BTW, if there is a breakpoint in the floppy drive that is executed now,
(that is, some kind of breakpoint order inversion between C64 and
floppy) in this state, VICE will crash.

Indeed. When would you need a dump of the complete addressable memory?
