122.0. "boot rom sources" by MLN08::CASTELLUCCI (Aldo, TOEM Mktg Italy, 793-2292, @MLN) Mon Mar 28 1994 16:39

	Hello
	I have to define a possible architecture for a customer
	who needs to modify the boot rom of the KAV30.
	Questions:
	 - how to get the sources?
	 - what languages are they written?
	Thanks a lot

122.1technical details needed...EICMFG::KAV30_SUPPMon Mar 28 1994 18:1822
    
    
    Hi,
    
    you won't get the sources, since this contains VAX boot code (VMB),
    which is for restricted use only - it is written in VAX macro.
    
    Nevertheless we have done several modifications for different
    customers, so if you describe the specifics of your needs, you can get
    an offer from Digital-PCS to modify it.
    
    Also you won't get any warranty or support if you modify the KAV30 boot
    code or diagnostics by your own (neither does the customer get
    support...)
    
    Don't misunderstand me, we are absolutely willing to help you, just
    give us the technical details and we'll see what we can do!
    
    best regards,
    
    Thomas
