The program MegaFlashROManager for FutureOS and AMSDOS/BASIC allows the management of the 256 KB Flash-ROM (=Pseudo-ROM) of the MegaFlash developed by Bryce of FutureSoft. You can load/save all 16 ROMs at once. And every single 16 KB Flash-ROM can be managed individually. This software is being currently developed by TFM of FutureSoft. The first beta version is available now.
MegaFlashROManager provides the following functions:
- Park or Unpark ROMs: This is done by manipulating the Byte at &C000. A parked ROM will not be initialized by the firmware.
- Load ROM(s) (one or all 16): This function allows to load a 16 ROM (or 16 ROMs of 16 KB at once) and to install it in the MegaFlash.
- Save ROM(s) (one or all 16): Saves one or all ROMs to disc or hard disc. This feature can be used to create backups.
- Copy ROM(s): Allows copying the content of one ROM select (16 KB) to another. You can use this function for example to copy the BASIC ROM to all free ROM selects.
- Shift ROM(s): Shifts a 16 KB ROM from one ROM select to another, the old ROM select will be filled with &FF bytes.
- Erase ROM(s): Deletes a 16 KB ROM with &FF bytes.
- Test ROM(s): Provide information about a ROM like Type, Version, Mark, ROM name etc. Further you can install the correct checksum to a changed ROM. The ROMs at position 0 (usually the BASIC ROM) and 7 (usually AmsDOS) are protected.
