SE/30 ROM
Posted by: jwse30 on 2022-12-21 04:44:33 So I am getting ready to install a Daystar Accelerator in my SE/30, and am wanting to install a 32 bit clean ROM while I am in there. Are any of the new ROMs able to be flashed to mock a IIsi or IIfx ROM so the accelerator will work with it? Thanks, and Merry Christmas! J White

Posted by: jwse30 on 2022-12-21 05:29:56 My understanding (which does not make it fact) is that to use the Daystar accelerators in an SE/30, you can't use a modified ROM. I am hoping someone out there made one of the new ROMs that can be flashed to duplicate a IIsi or IIfx ROM. J White

EDIT: @olePigeon Also has a patched ROM which, IIRC, should keep the ROMinator features without breaking 040 support: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/custom-bootable-rom-images-for-bmow-simm.30420/#post-324362

Posted by: eharmon on 2022-12-23 11:19:00 A Rominator ii would also work Only if you have the flashing board to replace the stock rominator rom, afaik. If it’s a Turbo040 it’s incompatible with the romdisk so you have to flash back to a stock IIsi rom.
