From [http://minuszerodegrees.net/bios/BIOS_5170_10JAN84_6MHZ/README.TXT](http://minuszerodegrees.net/bios/):
|
|
|
|
This is the first BIOS for the IBM 5170.
|
|
It is dated 10JAN84.
|
|
It is found in type 1 motherboards running at 6 Mhz.
|
|
|
|
U27 has the IBM part number of 6181028, and is 32K in size
|
|
U47 has the IBM part number of 6181029, and is 32K in size
|
|
|
|
8 bit checksum of 6181028 = 36
|
|
8 bit checksum of 6181029 = CA

There are two BIN files in this ZIP file:
|
|
|
|
1. BIOS_5170_10JAN84_U27_6181028_27256_6MHZ.BIN --> Use this to create a U27 using a 27256 EPROM (rated at 150nS or faster)
|
|
2. BIOS_5170_10JAN84_U47_6181029_27256_6MHZ.BIN --> Use this to create a U47 using a 27256 EPROM (rated at 150nS or faster)

|
The JSON-encoded ROM image that PCjs uses was created using the *FileDump* command-line *merge* option:
|
|
|
|
filedump --file=http://static.pcjs.org/devices/pc/bios/5170/BIOS_5170_10JAN84_U27_6181028_27256_6MHZ.BIN --merge=http://static.pcjs.org/devices/pc/bios/5170/BIOS_5170_10JAN84_U47_6181029_27256_6MHZ.BIN --output=1984-01-10.json --overwrite
|
|
|
|
Since a MAP file ([1984-01-10.map]()) exists as well, it is automatically appended to the JSON file ([1984-01-10.json]())
|
|
when using a ROM input file (or JSON output file) with a matching filename.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to create a merged binary ROM image ([1984-01-10.rom](http://static.pcjs.org/devices/pc/bios/5170/1984-01-10.rom))
|
|
by adding *--format=rom* to the command-line (the default is *--format=json*).
|
|
|
|
These operations can only be performed using the *FileDump* command-line interface; the *FileDump* API does not support
|
|
either the *merge* option or the appending of MAP data. For the moment, the API can only dump unadorned ROM images; eg:
