On my Afterburner run a modified 4.04 ROM. Be nice to get rid of the CRC error message at boot :)

Another issue is Winix won't patch it as it thinks it's not a valid ROM image.

Looked at your webpage, didn't see any archives. Could you point me to your program or possibly link it?
Thanks :)

I posted it here: https://exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... 829#p94829
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

I’m afraid that I’m away from home now until the new year.

What platform would you need the binary for anyway?
