Successfully decoded, and managed to un-ARC the thing. Then, I read the instructions, copied the files to the backup of my AMAX disk, booted from the AMAX disk, ran the MACROM -S filen option, and it said the module was installed, but when I ran AMAX and loaded the ROMS, nothing... no requester...It just continued as usual. Help! What do I do to make this thing work? Chris WEVERHA@CLEMSON.BITNET WEVERHA@PRISM.CLEMSON.EDU WEVERHA@GEMINI.CLEMSON.EDU

Has anyone come across a program called MACROM that enables an AMax user to copy the Macintosh ROM image to a disk file and then load the resulting file instead of waiting for the ROM image to download through AMax. The computer store that I am affiliated with wants to put the ROM image on hard drive so that the loading and transformation into AMax occurs in a drastically sped up manner. We have tried running MACROM with virtually every kind of configuration that we could come up with at the store. Basically, we tried it on a 2500 in both 680x0 modes. Also, we tried it on a stock 500. The very minimal docs suggest that after running MACROM, run the AMax install program. Then as soon as the ROM image has downloaded, MACROM should take over control and come up with a requestor of some sort. But, for us, all we get is a continuation of the normal AMax install process. Has anyone had luck in getting MACROM to function as expected? We have the 128K ROMs in our AMax. Thanks.
