I was wondering if anyone had the UNIX PC Diagnostic ROMs, and if they did have them would they copy them for me? The ROM diagnostics are clearly mentioned in the _UNIX pc Reference Manual_. There was a software version of the debug ROMs made, that was a loadable device driver (db.o) that I posted a while back... It basically gave you a diagnostic monitor in software, but this requires you to boot UNIX and load the device driver before you can debug anything ... if something is wrong in the hardware that you want to examine, loading UNIX might be impossible ... -Lenny -- Lenny Tropiano, Project Manager / Sr. Software Engineer American LP Systems, Inc. 305-1 Knickerbocker Avenue UUCP : ...icus!alps!lenny Bohemia, New York 11716 PHONE: 1-516-589-7930

The people that I have talked to at Convergent Technologies tell me that the Diagnostic ROMS, like a few other things mentioned in the Reference Manual, were never produced.

The ROM diagnostics are >clearly mentioned in the _UNIX pc Reference Manual_. GROWL - GROWL - GROWL - GROWL - GROWL - GROWL - GROWL (Sorry... just coming outta my cave...) Perhaps I should mention that I told Lenny I'd TRY to get it cleared to give him a set -- but I'm still waiting to find out about THE LITTLE LEGAL NICETIES.... I'm sure he meant to ask yawl to check those before copying the bitsie-witsies. Now _I_ don't give a bucket of flaming frog bladders about these bloody ROMs, but SOME pholks might! (NB: I don't think it's AT&T, either -- just for the benefit of the Flamettes out there.)
