Re: Putting OS1.3 on an EPROM chip possible?

actually, it is possible to use a 1mb rom A500+'s and (possibly) A600. I used a 27C800 rom to write a 1mb rom as explained in this thread and it works fine. However, I prepared a 3.9 rom, with exec 45 which was useless on my stock 68000 A500 so I felt like an idiot :).

AFAIK, putting in whole wb 1.3 would be a really difficult job cause what I get from doobrey's comments is that the code inside the rom should be rommable code. You just can't copy stuff in there and expect it to work. I'ld be really glad if someone could explain the notion of rommable though. There's lots of space in a 1mb rom we could fill in :) (like a fat95 filesystem ? or cf.device ? or some whdload libs ?)
