Vendor Information



Tool Description:

PromKit v2.0 allows you to create a diskless system first with disk drives and then transfer the image to EPROM, Flash or NVRAMs. The boot disk is then converted into an image for EPROM, Flash, or NVRAMs and allows you to specify the floppy drive letter being created as well as how many chips are going to be used.
PromKit adds a driver module that hooks into any PC-compatible BIOS during power-on by allowing the PromKit driver to load your disk files out of PROM into RAM. PromKit then starts running MS-DOS*.
PromKit allows you to build custom boards for specific applications. Examples are included for building custom boards that range from 128K to 2.1 Mbytes. The examples also come with PAL equations and modification ideas for PromKit. If you do not want to build your own board, PromKit has built-in support for the most popular PROM boards on the market.
Using PromKit with a disk version of MS-DOS is a simple alternative to the MS-DOS ROM Version Developer's kits if you do not need MS-DOS to actually execute out of ROM, or do not need to tailor MS-DOS to your application. If you use MS-DOS in your system, AnnaSoft can issue the Microsoft licenses you will need (10 minimum) to legally reproduce the ROMs.
Object code generated by PromKit in accordance with the license agreement may be used without payment of a per-unit fee. Your purchase of PromKit includes a license to use the source code, but does not carry right of title to said source code to you.
