Model T Option ROMs

Altivo:

This page is intended to be a database of all known Option ROMs that were/are commercially available, including version numbers.

Add a new table entry for each unique ROM image. That is, if you have two option ROMS, and they differ by more than one byte value, they should have separate entries. I am assuming ROMs were not "serialized" by embedding a serial number or customer name within each one, though it is conceivable.

Use [[Special:Upload]] to upload image files (preferably, as a raw 32K .BIN file, not hex, so we get a uniform set.

from Steve A.
De-installation of TS-DOS may require some detailed investigation, since
the full effects of DOS-ON/OFF toggling from the menu are not understood.
TS-DOS injects software into upper memory of the laptop, and modifies hooks.
How this code interacts with M100 is not 100% clear.
For example, do we need to clear all upper ram back to defaults, and restore
the hooks to defaults? What areas of ram are modified?
If the work to de-install was limited to this, then the default upper ram
image would have to be copied from the main rom back into upper RAM.

A code snippet from XR4Menu software, which has the same challenge of ram cleanup when rom switching--

940 PRINT" OK..";:CALL32454:FORK=0TO36:POKE62981+K,PEEK(879+K):NEXT
941 FORI=-1639TO-1441STEP11:IFPEEK(I)=240THENPOKEI,0
942 NEXT:POKE65006,0:POKE65450,0:FORK=0TO7:CALL64712,,64+K:POKE64164+K,PEEK(64722):NEXT:RETURN

Altivo: Updates and questions

Just slipped some updates into the table, based on the two option ROMs I own and their documentation. The Ultimate ROM manual includes install and remove instructions for NEC, should those be added here?

It would be helpful to have a link here to a standard program or code segment for dumping the binary content of an option ROM so it can be uploaded. I'll be happy to do that, but I want to be sure I'm doing it properly rather than supplying a possibly defective file. --Gary (KA9NZI)
