# ROM 5X by MG

## DO NOT EVEN TRY THIS YET :-)
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
**Warning:** This has not been tested on an emulator or a real Apple IIc Plus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a patch for the Apple IIc Plus firmware that tries to recover a battery-backed
|
|
|
|
|
RAM disk upon cold start. Because of the limited space in the Apple IIc ROM. it does not
|
|
|
|
|
have the complete feature set of ROM 4X for the (non-Plus) //c.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon cold start, the patch checks for a potentially bootable RAM disk and restores the
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate screen holes to prevent it from being destroyed and to enable boot. If a
|
|
|
|
|
RAMdisk is recovered, a flashing "R" will appear in the lower left corner of the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To prevent the check and recovery, power on the machine with the Option key held down.
|
|
|
|
|
A flashing "O" will appear in the lower left corner of the screen and the system will
|
|
|
|
|
boot without checking for or recovering any RAM disk.
