ROMs for Snow

[Ron's Computer Videos]

If you're setting up Snow for the first time for MARCHintosh, this archive will save you a lot of headaches:

It includes not only ROMs for the machines themselves, but also ROMS for things like video cards and odd accessories.

Check it out!

Yes! I had come to the same internet archive site via a different site!!

Got it up and running! Certainly seems to run more like the speeds of my SE/30… now to try my development and optimization efforts on it! Thanks guys!!

Spot on guys — I was getting about 2fps on my real se/30 and am getting what seems like the same thing from Snow!. Very cool and saves me the 5 minute transfer process from macbook to SE/30 just to do iterative on-target testing! At the very least i can reduce how often I do a self checkpoint like this!!! VERY AWESOME!!! Thanks for the effort!!

I'm glad you figured it out!

The next step I took was to use a portrait monitor video screen, gives real good screen estate for coding in Symantec C++ 6.0.

I’ve been looking for more video roms for using Snow for other machines (all set on the se/30 for now but i wanted a mac iici, iifx, and quadra 650, 700, etc). Starting with setting up a Snow version of a IIci I got stuck looking for a video ROM. The ROM link at the OP of this thread doesn’t have a IIci video rom that i can tell — no luck web searching… . ANy leads/clues folks?

The very post above yours has a screenshot of the ROM I used for the machine as well as video. That's only good if you're going for portrait. It's part of the pack linked in the OP . If you want a standard screen, iirc it's also possible but I don't remember off hand. I'll have to check until I'm back home.

thanks — i wanted a ‘stock’ setup at least one that didn’t have a custom display card - just a stock machine. If you or anyone has leads on the stock display rom that’d be awesome.

Ah - I think I found one: it’s located (relative path to the big ROMs archive) in:
Mac_ROMs/Misc/Video cards/Apple Macintosh Display Card 8-24/Trident 8-24/341-0868.BIN


I only guessed it since the dialogue box in Snow suggested needing 341-0868 so I just searched around until i found it. it wasn’t in the Macintosh II folder which didn’t help me guess it.
