Calling all ROMs! Collecting DeclROM data

[Arbee]

I do. It's not a standard DeclROM format though.

Thanks for everything people have shared for testing! If anyone happens to have them, I have a few requests for ROMs with DeclROM entries:

• DayStar Turbo 601
• DayStar PowerPro
• Apple PowerPC Upgrade Cards (all flavors)
• PowerBook 5300
• PowerBook 2400c/3400c
• All types of clone boards
• ISDN cards, various
• Duo Dock
• A DECNet card, may or may not even exist
• Any non-SCSI storage
• MIDI Card, various
• Parallel card, may not exist
• Any compression accelerators
• Any RAM cards besides the DayStar RAM PowerCard
• Radius Rockets besides the 40MHz and 25i

And as usual, anything exotic you happen to have!

This would make my test matrix fairly complete so I can squish out any more bugs!

Many thanks!
I wonder how this card is recognized by the system software without a proper DeclROM.

Radius Rockets besides the 40MHz and 25i

ROM Hacking...The Radius Rocket!

Hey folks, I got a little distracted from regular ROM mods by some interesting quirks of the Radius Rocket. I ended up writing...a lot, so the full post is on my personal site, but I'll summarize things here: https://eharmon.net/retro/radius/rom_extraction/ TL;DR: The Rocket's Macintosh ROMs...

There is some code in the PDM ROM that looks for a predefined signature in the DeclROM to see if one of the Apple video cards is installed in the PDS (aka VDS) slot: https://github.com/elliotnunn/super...94-02-09/OS/StartMgr/USTStartUp.a#L2193-L2211

I can't spot the above signature in your dump. Does your card work in a Nubus Power Macintosh?

I didn't do the dump, but the person who did did both an EPROM read and an in-system read with Paul Pratt's SlotROM utility and they match. (It was working in the system when the SlotROM dump was run).
