<p> CopyRoms is a very simple program to write out a
|
|
copy of the <a href="../../hardware.html#rom">ROM</a>
|
|
from a 680x0 Macintosh to an image file.
|
|
It should work on a Macintosh 128K through to a
|
|
Macintosh IIcx. It should also work on many other 680x0 Macintosh
|
|
models, but most haven't been tested. CopyRoms should be
|
|
able run without crashing on any Macintosh,
|
|
even if it doesn't succeed in saving a ROM image. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> To use, just launch the CopyRoms application. It
|
|
should write out a file (to the folder containing
|
|
the application) and then immediately quit.
|
|
On a Macintosh Plus, or Macintosh 512Ke, it should
|
|
write out a 128K file called "vMac.ROM".
|
|
For the name and size of the file written out on
|
|
some other machines see this list of
|
|
<a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/mac68k/index.html">Macintosh 680x0</a>
|
|
models. CopyRoms only works on computers with
|
|
a ROM whose checksum is included in this list. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> If CopyRoms doesn't recognize the ROM, it will
|
|
write out a 4 byte file called 'Unknown.ROM',
|
|
containing just the checksum from the start of
|
|
the ROM. Please send
|
|
<a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/feedback.html">me</a>
|
|
this 4 byte file, along with a description of your computer,
|
|
so that I can support it in a future version of CopyRoms.
|
|
(But only if you are using a 680x0 Macintosh,
|
|
not PowerPC or Intel.)
|
|
(And don't send me actual ROM image files.) </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> CopyRoms has no user interface, and so can be used even
|
|
on a machine without a working keyboard, mouse,
|
|
and/or screen. This can be done by preparing a
|
|
floppy disk with CopyRoms set to be the startup
|
|
application (in System 6 or earlier, not System 7),
|
|
and replacing the finder with the
|
|
"<a href="../autoquit/index.html">AutoQuit</a>"
|
|
application. Make sure there is
|
|
enough free disk space for the ROM image file. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> The main difficulty in using CopyRoms is transferring
|
|
the program to the old Macintosh, and transferring
|
|
the acquired ROM image to another machine.
|
|
Modern Macintoshes can't use the 800K
|
|
floppy disks used by the Mac Plus. The easiest
|
|
solution is to use a slightly less old Macintosh
|
|
that can use 800k disks, and that has ethernet
|
|
or other communication options to talk to
|
|
more recent machines. Some other
|
|
possibilities are an AppleTalk/Ethernet
|
|
converter, an external SCSI drive (though modern
|
|
Macs can't use external SCSI drives without 3rd party
|
|
hardware), a null modem cable, or connecting
|
|
to the internet with a modem.
|
|
The Macintosh 128K and 512K are even more difficult,
|
|
since they only understand 400k MFS floppies,
|
|
and don't have a SCSI port. It is easiest
|
|
if you also have a Mac Plus. </p>
|

|

|
|

|
|
|
<p> <a name="alpha"> <b>Alpha version</b> in development </a> </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The binary of the Alpha version is so far identical to the stable
|
|
version above, but the source code is different, being ported
|
|
to <a href="../reasm/index.html">ReAsm</a>.

|
version 0.3.0 adds support for PowerBook 190 (this change must
|
|
have gotten lost). Also saves 2 megabytes, not 1, for
|
|
PowerBook 520 and PowerBook 540, thanks to a bug report from
|
|
"Andrew H.". For a Macintosh SE FDHD,
|
|
saves file named "SEFDHD.ROM", not "SEHDFD.ROM". Supports
|
|
additional ROM versions 0x4957EB49 for Macintosh IIvx/IIvi
|
|
and 0x96CA3846 for Macintosh Portable/PowerBook 100. </p>
