Hi guys,

    I'm kinda split on the issue of people burning their own ROMs.  I've done it myself but I can see both sides.  On one side we're left with the possibility of never being able to find an adequate supply of these things, so we must take matters into our own hands.  On the other side, does owning a copy of the ROM image (encrypted or not) actually entitle us to burn a "backup" on to a ROM for use in a real Amiga?

Talk amongst yourselves...

I don't see why that one won't work.  I had the best luck myself when I read the contents of the ROM and burnt the ROM using the same programming unit.  Also, have a UV eraser handy in case things don't work the first time!

Good luck!

Hi,

     The 27C400 is alot longer than most PC eproms or eeproms.  Aren't there any high-byte low-byte (endian) issues there as well?  I can see burning ROMs of the same type - I've used your method to make a ROM for a friend of mine when he baked his ROM on his PC - luckily we bought identical motherboards!
