32 kB ROM on 3c509b




Hi,

when trying to use a 32 kB ROM on a 3com 509b I noticed that only 16 kB
of the ROM were accessible. A bit of research showed that the ROM on these
cards is paged in 16 k chunks.

Do you think that it is (easily) possible to change netboot so that it
can be used with such a paged ROM?

The technical manual of the card can be found here:
http://labcontrol.pqui.utfsm.cl/~wally/Projects/EtherDAQ/docs/Networking/3c5x9b.pdf

Page 54 is where that ROM paging register is described.

Cya, Florian
