# Apple Set Top Box/Interactive Television Box Toolsuite

## What it is
[Read the blog post first!](https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2023/07/apples-interactive-television-box.html)
This is a set of three Perl tools for working with a "red" ROM dump for the Apple Interative Television Box/Set Top Box (aka AITB, ITV or STB), specifically the STB3.
* The tool `checksum.pl` reads the embedded checksum in a classic Mac ROM and compares with a computed one. Pass the ROM dump on standard input or as a filename argument.
* The tool `resscan.pl` walks a ROM dump and emits the resources it finds. **Currently this only works for red STB ROMs, not the green ROM (which is actually a regular Quadra 605 ROM) and not any other ROMs, though this is intended in the future.** Pass the ROM dump on standard input or as a filename argument. If you pass (a) pair(s) of resource codes and numbers after the ROM filename, then the scanner will emit a dump of that code and resource number, if it exists (such as `DRVR-0.dump`).
* The tool `splicedisk0.pl` walks a ROM dump and inserts the provided disk image into resource `disk#0`. The disk image must be bootable HFS with boot blocks and a blessed System Folder, which the tool will check, and must fit within the provided space. This is intended only for the STB ROM disk image. If you did not change the folder structure but the System Folder got unblessed, try adding the `-fix16` argument to attempt to automatically repair the disk image for insertion.
There are many "gotchas" about this process which are best explained by [the original blog post](https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2023/07/apples-interactive-television-box.html).
