My house is surrounded by snow and fallen trees so I had some free time to throw this together.
I like the idea of having a custom rom in my se/30 because a 10 minute ram check is tedious every time I boot.
However seeing that there are no open source projects out there for a rom-simm, and the next best thing requires an expensive programmer for no reason :^).
I call this project "EconoSimm" because the total price of a unit is around $15. The major benefit comes from it using standard PLCC flash chips.
So while the max memory is restricted to 2MB/16Mb anyone with a standard programmer can flash the EEPROMS.
It's open source for everyone to enjoy
Basically: Custom roms for less than the cost of a tank of gas
