- This program will read a ROM located in your PC's address space,
- and will dump it to the standard output device in Intel Hex Format.
- This output may be redirected to a file, which may then be printed or
- stored in a safe place as an archival backup of your system ROMs (BIOS,
- Fixed Disk) so that you may restore your system in the event that your
- ROMs are destroyed by electro-static discharge, physical damage, etc.
- If the program is executed with no parameters, a usage message is
- displayed, and your system's address space is searched for all valid
- ROM signatures. The segment address and length of all valid ROMs found
- are displayed. Note that most system BIOS ROMs do NOT have a valid ROM
- signature, and therefore will not be found by this search. To read
- your system BIOS ROMs, specify a segment address of F000 and a length
- of 10000.
-
-
-
- Command Format:
-
- SAVEROM [seg [len]]
-
- seg = Segment address of ROM to be Saved (in Hex)
