SE/30 ROM

[jwse30]

So I am getting ready to install a Daystar Accelerator in my SE/30, and am wanting to install a 32 bit clean ROM while I am in there. Are any of the new ROMs able to be flashed to mock a IIsi or IIfx ROM so the accelerator will work with it?

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

Are you thinking of something like BMOW ROMinator ?

My understanding (which does not make it fact) is that to use the Daystar accelerators in an SE/30, you can't use a modified ROM. I am hoping someone out there made one of the new ROMs that can be flashed to duplicate a IIsi or IIfx ROM.

A GGLABS MACSIMM or PurpleROM will work:

MACSIMM - MAC SE/30 IIsi IIfx flash ROM SIMM by GGLABS on Tindie

Programmable Flash ROM SIMM for Mac SE/30, IIfx and IIsi

PurpleROM 2MB 64-pin flash ROM SIMM Macintosh by Siliconinsider on Tindie

PurpleROM 2MB 64-pin Flash ROM SIMM for Apple Macintosh computers

With a minipro/TL866 and PLCC socket adapters, they're flashable to standard IIsi ROMs. I've been meaning to make a tutorial, maybe I'll get around to it during the holidays.

EDIT: @olePigeon Also has a patched ROM which, IIRC, should keep the ROMinator features without breaking 040 support: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/custom-bootable-rom-images-for-bmow-simm.30420/#post-324362

Keep the stock ROM and use MODE32.

A Rominator ii would also work

A Rominator ii would also work

Only if you have the flashing board to replace the stock rominator rom, afaik. If it’s a Turbo040 it’s incompatible with the romdisk so you have to flash back to a stock IIsi rom.
