-SOLVED- where to find the rom version in a rom dump file

[techy]

Is there a specific rom address where the version of the rom can be found ?

There's a simple (but not very convenient) answer to this question: Nowhere specific.

The ROM version can be retreived from a running machine by executing the command PRINT VER$, but the string that is returned for this command is spread all over the place over different versions. If you only have the ROMs, your best bet is probably binary comparison to downloaded ROM images.

Hi,

What QDOS Rom are you interested in?

There is JS disassembly and Minerva source code on the QL Home Page.

derek i was curious about several eproms i had laying around ,

so i hoped for a way to pop them on the eprom burner and read them .......

now i have solved it by putting them all into one of my ql's
