Chandler Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thanks So do i need to do anything to this image or can i simply burn that file onto a rom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Besides learning how to burn a ROM? I mean, just that I'm not sure what you're asking... Most of the ROM files like that are dumps from burners/readers. Usually, the only thing that needs "done" is breaking it out into the specific number of chips since some of the "lower machines" would have two to six chip variants within the same "model" which wasn't the case with the Falcon.

You can check it for correct size. Can test it in Hatari. And instead asking more trivial things - it is called EPROM where it will go, pardon burn it's way by flame ?

rustynutt Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Sometimes the file will need to be byte swapped before burning. When you load it into programming environment, TOS 4.04 first word should be 602e. If it reads 2e60 or else, you need to do a swap. I have CGYWIN on a PC, and use dd. I can send a 55ns Amtel with 4.04 when I send the COMBEL. Edited January 25, 2022 by rustynutt Forgot something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Well i've been trying to make this TOS 4.04 Eprom with no success, i'm using Hitachi erasable HN27C4096CC-12 EPROMs Using a Willem PCB50 programmer I load the file (512K) (Downloaded from this thread) into the Willen PCB50 I can see the first word starts 602e The EPROM is blank, the programmer copies and verifies the image I insert the EPROM into the Falcon and all i get on a low res colour monitor is a black screen with red lines, no boot Re install the original rom and all is well so there's nothing up with the Falcon Can anyone help?
