2.3.3 Setting up an EPROM Disk
EPROMs should be inserted starting from Socket. All modules have to be of
t h e s a m e t y p e .
To create a ROM disk you w i l l n e e d t h e f o l l o w i n g :
- EPROM devices
- E P R O M p r o g r a m m e r
- ROM files

On the utility disk you will find a program called: ROMIMAG E.EXE that will
assist you in creating these files. Before using the program there are some
