In this video we take a look at the ‘Dial-A-ROM’ a spiffy new multi-ROM for vintage portable computers. It was designed by the same guy who did the Backpack drive. First, we’ll learn how to use the Dial-A-ROM with the ROM images that come preinstalled on it. Then we’ll see how to add our own ROM images if we so desire.

Timeline:
00:00 – Welcome
01:10 – DAR Intro, installation and ROM activation
04:44 – DAR programming (option)
10:34 – Testing new ROM we programmed
13:50 – Wrap up

Join us and see how nifty the DAR is!
