[comp.sys.amiga] ROM CARD

In An article from early Jan :

>We designed an expansion bus eprom card. It is autoconfig and supports up
>to 2Meg of ROM using 64KByte eproms (27512). Access to the card is done
>via a standard device driver which resides on an eprom on the card. So
>our eprom card is autobooting with Kickstart 1.3. Several partitions can
>be created to make later expansion possible. Each of these partitions
>can be used like a standard disk device, e.g. ROM:, ROM1:. Installation
>is simple: Needed files and directories are placed on normal disks.
>The installation program reads all disks and creates the necessary
>hex file for each eprom.

Has any one heard anything on the availability of this??

    I for one would be interested in purchasing something like this say with 
the :c directory and such installed. Updating to new code may be awkward but
maybe it would be worth it for some startup-sequence virus protection. If one 
used EPROMS they could be recycled which would hold down the cost some.

    If any one has avaliability or price info for the US please e-mail.

THanks in advance.
