I am currently trying to mae an INIT that will allow me to boot from an IIsi ROM which I will copy into RAM on my SE/30. The SE/30 runs quite well with the IIsi ROM. The problem I have now is, that THINK C 4.0.4 does not seem to like compiling the PMOVE assembler instruction. Is there anybody who can supply me with the bit-field structure of this instruction, and possible the other PMMU instructions as well. They are not listewd in the Motorola 68030 handbook :^( BTW: Is the IIsi ROM part of the system software ? So that I can distribute it to all non-32-bit-blean ROM users as an upgrade they can have ? I am not doiung anythingillegal by now. I do not modify Apple's code, just write an INIT. -- ******************************************************* Povl H.

As far as I know, the ROM is NOT part of the System Software, Apple would not take kindly to its distribution. - CHRIS But, if you do release such an INIT, you will have the eternal gratitude of thousands of us fellow SE/30 owners.

I think it might be good to note here that Povl's INIT was going to copy the IIsi ROM _FROM THE CHIPS_ into RAM. That'd mean you had to have a IIsi ROM to start with. If the intent is to distribute this 512K+ ROM INIT, then yes, methinks Apple legal would have a bit of a cow. See the recent events in comp.sys.mac.misc re:SE/30 ROM updates mailing list for a better way to convince Apple that this is what we want :-) -- .--------------------------------------------------------------------. | Paul Jacoby, 3M Company | Parachuting?
