Grab ROM from expansion board ?

[Toni Wilen]

Quick reply: it is identical to already dumped ROM 6.12. Which contains 6.10 (26.08.95) device driver and some other modules, password login related modules are 6.12 (29.01.96)

EDIT: Trifecta driver isn't very good, if I am not totally wrong, it only supports FFS in RDB and only if it is the only filesystem installed in RDB. Any other filesystem = all filesystems are ignored.. Nice hardware (A500 compatible true DMA HD controllers aren't that common, almost all of them are PIO except Commodore A590 and GVP series II), stupid driver..

Dump from Trumpcard 500 (SCSI), with Meta4 and Supra RAM expansion.
Did three different on this (without any crash), whole address space, start from offset + full size, start from offset + remaining size.

Same as already dumped v4.9 IVS Trumpcard ROM.

I'd have expected more "random" versions but two boards having exactly same ROM versions as previous dump feels unexpected. Unless almost all produced boards had same version and only some early/pre-release versions had older versions.

Do you have Trifecta manual or install disk (newer than the one in amiga.resource.cx)?

I'd like to know what mysterious jumpers A to E do. At least two of them must be related to EC/LX model (driver reads them and jumps here and there depending on jumper states..). Perhaps manual explains it. (or not, "reserved" is also possibility..)

Have both the disk and manual (but not scanned,yet). Don't know if either is of any newer version than available elsewhere. I can check and scan/photo the page (if any) about those mysterious jumpers.

The installation floppy is attached.

Pages 22 and 30 from the hardware manual explains them.

Thanks. So it was boot delay, not model detection. (I thought it was hung accessing non-existing scsi but it was only waiting 24s.. Left mouse button also seems to abort the wait)

Driver disk has same driver version as amiga.resource.cx. I guess it didnt't need updating when boot rom driver was updated.
