Hello,

I improved FLLOAD.COM that allows to write Rom into a MegaFlashrom (based AMD Flashrom). I need beta testers for these following programs.

Now FLLOAD.COM supports SCC rom mapper!

If you have a MegaFlashrom mapped 8K (ASCII or SCC type), you can test FLLOAD.COM.
Many 8, 16 and 32KB roms work on a SCC mapper.

If you have a MegaFlashrom mapped 16K (ASCII type), you can test FLLOAD16.COM.
Many 8, 16 and 32KB roms (also Q-bert) work on this mapper (with a auto-patch for 32K roms).

AM29F0XX.COM allows to detect the Mega-flash slot. Please try it too on any MegaFlashrom.

Um, what is the advantage compared to OPF?

OPF can write 8 ~ 64KB ROM on my Megaflashrom mapped 16K and freezes my MSX when I forgot to put the Megaflashrom switch to ON. Otherwise, OPF is better for Megaflashrom mapped 8K SCC users.

Switch to ON? I think you're talking about Padial's Flashrom and not about Pazo's MegaflashROM?

This switch:

It prevents the cartridge starts at MSX boot.

I tested with the MAB Megaflashrom mapped 16KB only.

OPF can't write 8 ~ 64KB Roms on my Megaflashrom mapped 16K.

Yes but we must first try if it works correctly. I would like to add automatic detection.
I can provide the beta source code for people who want to help.

@ gdx : I would really like to help. Simply I cannot help for this beta testing because I have no floppy drive. Nonetheless my goal is to have flload working on MSX1 cassette (i.e. running from cassette interface and loading rom images from cassette interface).

Please re-download it.
