Hello,

I have a batch of Ross Technology v2.25R custom bootROM's for Sun
Sparcstation 20's available. These ROM's add support for the 180 and 200
Mhz Hypersparc CPU modules in addition to what Sun's standard v2.25
bootROM handles (SuperSparc-1, SuperSparc-2, and up to 150 Mhz
Hypersparc).

These bootROM's are available for A$99 each plus shipping. Quantity
discounts for 2 or more bootROM's ordered together are available.

Regards,

Craig.

PS. These special Ross v2.25R bootROM's apparently also work in
Sparcstation 10's, unlike the genuine Sun v2.25 bootROM's which have two
machine-specific variants. However I don't have a Sparcstation 10 here at
present to confirm that the Ross v2.25R bootROM's do work in SS-10's...

PPS. If you want a genuine Sun v2.25 bootROM suitable for a Sparcstation
20, I have one currently listed on Ebay Australia (it's not for sale
through SRK), and I also have the binary image available for downloading
via my Sun Shack data archive at the following URL:

if you want to burn your own.
