Hi All -

Nees a BIOS Image so I can try to resurect this guy...not a ROMPAQ, but a complete BIOS image suitable for burning in an EEPROM burner.

Hope someone out there has one of these boards, and can make a copy (using Uni-Flash???) that will work for me...

Thanks!!

Try this. It creates a CAB file from which the ROM.BIN can be extracted.

That must be it!! :oops:

I think I did find an ROMPAQ update file, but I needed a file I could use in an EEPROM burner, since the thing won't boot at all. I'll have to look next week once I'm back at work to see what I actually downloaded...

Happy Holidays All!!
