Option ROMs

9845B/C Option ROMs

The following table is derived from the ROMREV program on the second 9845B/C System Exerciser Rev. E tape. It shows the part numbers, a short content description, a revision number, the systems they belong to, the number of 10K-ROMs that belong to a complete set, a unique checksum for ROM identification, the memory address and the memory block where the ROM data is located, and a download link for the ROM data if it has already been dumped.

All ROM content provided on this page represents the content as seen by the CPUs. The actual content of the real ROMs can be inverted or striped, depending on the implemented decoder logic (all Option ROMs come in modules with integrated decoders).

Option ROMs

The system information is encoded as follows:

B = 9845B with standard monochrome graphics option
T = 9845B with fast monochrome graphics option
C = 9845C with color graphics

Std. LPU = standard hybrid LPU
Fast LPU = bit slice LPU

Note that the address information and the block ID are both in octal notation. 10K (Octal) stands for 8 kWords or 16 kBytes decimal. The checksum is always a decimal integer between -32768 and +32767 and refers to the checksum created with the ROMREV tool (part of the 9845B/C Exerciser Package). Beyond this identification checksum, there is another checksum algorithm, which asserts integrity of the ROM (must calculate to -1 for each ROM).

The above option ROMs can be downloaded here as complete archive: 9835-Option-ROM-Readouts-150809.zip

9845A Option ROMs

Just like the 9835 ROMs, both the operating system ROMs and the option ROMS are provided as pluggable ROM modules. The ROM drawer of the 9845A is different than that of the 9845B/C and can't be exchanged.

Please note that all LPU option ROMs are located in option ROM block 2, whereas PPU option ROMs are mapped into PPU ROM block 1 at address octal 46000-65777 (9845A PPU can only access memory block 1).
