Does anyone on this list have a program that can write a file
to a floppy disk that does not have a DOS OS on it. Just a plain
formatted floppy disk.The program must be able to write a file
that is bigger than 64K to the PC floppydisk then load the program
into the PC main memory for example; at 0000:0000 to 0000:7fff.
This will allow the program I have designed to allow faster
development with chipset based motherboards without the use
of any os's or the need of a rom emulator. I have developed a
program that will only do smaller programs but need help on
getting a 256k program from a plain formatted non-dos floppy
into the pc memory. Help!!!!!

I figure that we're taking a slightly different direction than openbios so
I've set up the linuxbios web page, www.acl.lanl.gov/linuxbios. We'll use
openbios and help out where we can. I'll be posting the 'linux boots
linux' code there this week as well as anything we've done to openbios to
make it go.
It would be great if anyone out there can unlock the secret of the flash
ram. This is driving me nutz. If I get there I'll let you know.
Thanks
ron

I´m sorry, but a copy of my ROM-Emulator would not be what you expext ...
I was not talking about Software. The Emulator is a little piece of Hardware
that I bought. It is intended to be inserted into a standard 32 Pin
Jedec-Memory Socket. Then you download a 64k image via the parallel port of
any PC into this Hardware. You press reset at the board and it boots ...
well sometimes ...
If you are interested in such an Hardware try th e following urls as a
start:
www.hed.de (they make tools for embedded and microcontrol. I once talked to
their Boss and got the impression that they are really good!)
www.embedded-tools.de (they have a modular Emulator called PromJet. Its able
to act like rom/ram/flash up to 16Mbit and 32Bit Words. Furthermore it can
handle operating voltages from 2 to 5V. It also has an ethernet plug ...)
Well this is not an advertisement ... I did not test these devices but they
seem interesting to me ...
