Re: Can 3c905b use EPROM ???

[Steve_Marfisi@3com.com]

Here is (probably not a complete list) a selection of ROMs that our test records
indicate support on the 905B:

Atmel 29C512 DIP, Atmel 29LV512, Atmel 49BV512, Atmel 29LV010B , SST 29LE010 ,
SST 39VF010, Atmel 49F001N, SST 29EE010, SST 39SF010, STM 29W512B, AM 29LV010B

We primarily use the Atmel 29C512., sometimes the SST depending on availability.

I'm not sure if the 27cxxx chips are compatible (Steve?), as the 3c905b
specs don't say anything about EPROMs, just flash ROMs.  But, be sure
that the device ID's on the ROMs match the boards, since the 3c905 and
3c905b have different device ID's.  If the board's id doesn't match the
id in the ROM, then the BIOS will ignore the ROM completely.
