Hi again,

as writing before, this is a follow-up to my previous post to mailing
list. I would like to ask you for authentic copies of your Commodore
floppy 6530 RRIOT ROM contents, if it is not already available on the
big well known Commodore archives yet.

To dump ROM contents you should probably use the FDC-ROM duping tool
from my previous article. Please contact me, if you don't feel able to
convert it to simple Basic instructions on your own.


To me at least the following part numbers of certain FDC ROM versions
and revisions are known:

   CBM code MOS code drive location    DOS version  references     avail

They were collected from more or less well known Commodore archives and
web sites:

Only for the entries marked with "v" in the "avail" column, ROM contents
are publically available for download.


Do you know of other part numbers for the RRIOT chips within the above
mentioned Commodore disk drives? Are you able to provide authentic
copies of ROM contents not only from your RRIOT chips, but the DOS ROMs
and GCR EPROMs as well?

I would be nice to pack all these firmwares into one big 29C256
Flash-ROM along with the adapter mentioned in the previous post. So
everyone with a decent DOS ROM set and revision would find an adequate
replacement for his defective RRIOT.


Kind regards, Womo
