Hi All!

I could not find on the Net any ROM dumps of the following MSX RS232 interfaces:

* Philips NMS-1210
* Philips NMS-1211
* ESE Harukaze

Does anybody has this devices and could make a dump of its ROMs?

Thanks in advance,
FRS

Nobody has any of those RS232 interfaces?

I believe the NMS-1250 also has the same BIOS as the NMS-1210/11, so its ROM dump could also help me.

It seems the NMS-1255 also has the NMS-1210/11 BIOS.

Got a NMS-1212, maybe it's also the same BIOS

If these roms are emulated wouldn't that be good?I really don't know wether they are emulated by bluemsx or other emulators.So wouldn't that be good?To make our emulators more accurate ?

As far as I know, the NMS1210 and NMS1211 do not have a ROM (at least I think I did not spot it on the PCB).

If I remember correct, there is a .Bin file which should be loaded to have the RS232C BIOS somewhere in RAM.

Didn't realise I was doing something wrong, just wanted to help someone out who's interested in keeping msx alive by developing or doing research
However, I don't wanna get into a lot of trouble so I think I reconsider my offer to dump the NMS1212
I do have another solution : if you make me a good offer you can buy my NMS1212 cartridge so you can investigate it as much as you need
