I just recently got chip-48 from wscott@ecn.purdue.edu, and the readme claims
that it only functions on a rev A rom. In fact, it claims to not only crash
and burn, but trash the memory of the 48 if you try it on any other rom
version. Not desiring to go through the exercise of reloading all my programs
after trying to verify this, I have decided to believe the message.
So, does anyone have a version of chip-48 that will run on a rev D rom, or
preferably, any rev? If so, could you mail me a copy?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

If so, could you mail me a copy? I run chip48 fine on a rev D rom. The author wrote it on a rev A (I assume) and so, wisely, advised people against trying to run it on anything else despite the fact that it would be more than likely to run without a hitch. I think it's been determined that the 'HPHP48-A' in the binary file doesn't mean the file will just run on a rev.
