Hi there,
I'm trying to find information on how to build a bootrom card. I want to
put some EPROM's on it which contain the OS, (like bare DOS6.22) then maybe
later on in development I'll make it so I have banks of RAM that would act
as a very small HD, But i'd ideally like to just make one with EPROM's on it
for now.
My theory is that I program the roms with the OS and put it within the
addressing range for a ethernet bootrom, or maybe the IDE rom range. im not
sure about that aspect of PC hardware.
any help would be greately apreciated.
If its any help I was going to do this on some 386 and 486 boards and maybe
find a use for them in a control environment.
