#ROM Problem
5 messages in this thread
I posted this a couple of days ago, but didn't get a response, so this time
I'll tickle a sysop's ear. I am having a complicated problem involving some
Kickstart ROMs and need to find a program that will read a ROM into a disk
file. Is there such a program out there?
Thanks/1
Robert,
Depending on which version of KickStart you're talking about, there's
already a version on disk…the KickStart disks.
But no…I know of no program specifically written that dumps the
system ROM to a file. It shouldn't be too hard to write one…I just don't
know that anyone has done it.

The problem is that I don't have the disks, I have a bunch of ROMs that I don't
want to have to switch by hand. Do you know the address of the ROM to the
memory? If you do (or if somebody else does) it couldn't be too difficult to
write a little asm routine that just gulps whats there to a file.
There was a program around here for those of us who had a 2630 accelerator
when 2.04 came out. It had a program that read the rom into a file, then
you used SETCPU to load & boot the rom image. Clunky, but it worked 'till
the 2630 roms came out. What does this mean to you? If you can find it (I
don't know if its still extant), it even included the source to read &
save the roms.
I'm afraid I've lost my copy (bought a 4000). I THINK it was called X2630
or the like… perhaps someone will jump in here?
I found a program that works A-OK on the latest Fred Fish disk. Thanks for the
help!
