Boot ROM
This card's boot ROM socket appears takes a standard 32-pin EEPROM chip, as well as 28-pin EEPROM chips such as the 28C64. It has been tested extensively with the 28C64 chip flashed with XT-IDE BIOS images, both XT and AT versions. It is a reliable way to boot from a modern era hard drive connected to an XT or AT class system whose BIOS would not natively support it.
The card's DOS drivers come with a configuration program (SOFTSET.EXE) that can be used to enable the ROM socket (it is disabled by default) and set the base address, as well as adjust all the usual options like the I/O address and IRQ.
