Here are some notes on the applications and tools in this folder:
The crcpatch tool calculates the crc value. See the example build sequence
below for
the invocation sequence. It is run after the declaration ROM file has been
assembled
and linked.
The data tool strips off the code 0 segment, and puts the code 1 segment in a
data
file, so the data file can be downloaded to a rom burner.
The tjscomm application is a rudimentary data comm program. It can be used to
download
data file to a ROM burner.
The GetsInfo application prints out some summary info for cards in certain
slots. Don't
worry about the slot 0 error, as future Macintosh II ROMs will contain a slot 0
sResource.
The SlotMgrTst application exercises the slot manager. It runs continuously,
and the only way
to stop it is to bring down and hold down a menu. It has limited usefullness
but is included
anyway.
Here is an example of how the Apple Video ROM Code was built:
## Assemble and link the ROM
directory "{Decl}TFB-b1:"
asm -wb -i {AIncludes}nFiles -i {Decl} VideoROM.a
Link VideoROM.a.o -o videoROM
### Patch the crc value and convert the code to a data file.
### in this case, operate on the linked declaration file (videoROM)
