Subject: Some new (?) sideways ROM images
Hi all,
A colleague gave me his BBC Master and various disks a couple of years
ago. This included a Morley EPROM burner and several ADFS disks of ROM
images. I've been imaging all the floppies I had sitting around over
Christmas, and thought it'd be worth checking to see whether there were
any interesting ROMs there that weren't in the usual collections...
I've checked against these:
- J.G.Harston: http://mdfs.net/System/ROMs/
- Robert Schmidt: ftp://ftp.nvg.org/pub/bbc/rom/
- Greg Cook: http://regregex.bbcmicro.net/romsearch.zip
... and the list below contains the ROMs that aren't in any of those
three. Most are just different versions, but there are a few new ones.
All the ROMs listed are in this Zip file:
