This page is intended to be a database of all known Option ROMs that were/are commercially available, including version numbers.

Add a new table entry for each unique ROM image. That is, if you have two option ROMS, and they differ by more than one byte value, they should have separate entries. I am assuming ROMs were not "serialized" by embedding a serial number or customer name within each one, though it is conceivable.

Use Special:Upload to upload image files (preferably, as a raw 32K .BIN file, not hex, so we get a uniform set.

from Steve A.

De-installation of TS-DOS may require some detailed investigation, since
the full effects of DOS-ON/OFF toggling from the menu are not understood.
TS-DOS injects software into upper memory of the laptop, and  modifies hooks.
How this code interacts with M100 is not 100% clear.
For example, do we need to clear all upper ram back to defaults, and restore
the hooks to defaults?  What areas of ram are modified?  
If the work to de-install was limited to this, then the default upper ram 
image would have to be copied from the main rom back into upper RAM.


A code snippet from XR4Menu software, which has the same challenge of ram cleanup when rom switching--
