<p> SlotRom is a utility to write out to an image file the
declaration ROM of each Nubus Card in some Macintosh
models.
It was made at the request of
<a href="http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/">Arbee</a>
(AKA <a href="http://retroblast.arcadecontrols.com/articles/belmont.html">R. Belmont</a>),
to assist the <a href="http://www.mess.org/">MESS</a> emulator project,
and debugged in collaboration with him. </p>
<p> It is still in development.
This alpha version writes out debugging information to a file
named "dbglog". </p>
<p> To use, just launch the SlotRom application. It
should write out a file for each NuBus card named such as
"Slot9.ROM" (to the folder containing
the application) and then immediately quit. </p>
<p> SlotRom 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 SlotRom 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 ROM image files that SlotRom saves are
copyright Apple Computer, and may not be
redistributed. </p>
