Centris 610 ROM SIMM

Posted by: quinnmacdonald on 2015-07-14 16:50:29 Can I use the ROM SIMM from a Centris 610 in an SE/30? The Centris' ROM SIMM is marked "341S0928". I searched this site for that # but there were no results found. Google didn't recognize it either.

Posted by: dougg3 on 2015-07-14 20:37:38 Let me just add my two cents: I just burned a Centris 610/650 ROM (checksum F1A6F343) onto one of my programmable ROM SIMMs, and it boots my IIci just fine. I think there's actually a fairly good chance that it would work on the SE/30. The fact that it also boots a IIci makes me think it's likely it will work. Unfortunately, I don't have an SE/30 here to test with to prove it. Edit: I would try it in my IIx (which uses the same stock ROM as the SE/30), but I'm having trouble getting my IIx to chime with its stock ROM right now--another trace has probably gone bad on it since my last test.

Posted by: uniserver on 2015-07-14 23:27:29 that is kinda cool doug. Maybe try this rom? http://www.synack.net/~bbraun/djmemcrom.html The djMEMC memory controller is used in the 68k Macintosh models Centris and Quadra 610, 650, and 800.
