Hi everyone. After Herb gave me the boot ROM file for a REV C boot ROM,
I had it burned onto my boot rom for my 68030 based Apollo, and put it
in, and turned it on. Now it says that I need a 68040 microprocessor. Is
this true? Does anyone have a boot ROM file that would work with my
68030?? Any help is as always appreciated! Thanks!
Kyle
