Just acquired a Hollywood Hardware ROM card (almost) full of ROMS and I'm looking for anyone that has info about the card. It came with literally nothing but the EPROMS that are on it. If someone out there has one and is looking for a copy of the EPROMS, I'm happy share those too. Just want to get it working. Thanks in advance

Yes, that's the one. I was the buyer of this card.
Your search references are noted and much appreciated.
I'm hoping I am not the only one on this forum that owns one
of these cards. I saw these advertised back in the early 80's
but never thought it'd be a good investment. Soon afterward,
S.C.R.G. introduced the QuickLoader card and I got hooked on
that. (That's another I'll be posting about in the near future,
as there are a few folks that have these cards that might want
to swap ROM configurations)
So, my quest for more information on the Hollywood Hardware Card
continues. Hopefully someone out there has one besides me?
Thank you for your response.
Nice find!
In looking at the pics of this card, I'm guessing that the one rom with "Bell" on it might have something to do with John Bell.
He did a lot of great Apple II peripherals.
I have my own custom eprom that I used to use when programming. It's a 2716.
Sat in my eprom burner in slot 5 and invoked with a $C500G or decimal equiv call statement.
If you'd like a copy, I could send you copy for a reasonable amt (rom & shipping)
The rom provides a menu with the following choices:
ASCII screendump with joystick/kybd controllable scrolling speed
Low res color bars with color numbers
Low res color bars with color names
R, G, B full screen color rasters
High res crosshatch pattern in b&w (monitor convergence test pattern)
Display existing high res screens ($2000/$4000)
System info (himem, lomem, last bload addr and length, usr vector, string storage addr, ampersand vector, etc)
Joystick centerer
Sorry.. I don't have it available to send via the web, but might still have the source code for Lisa 2.5 assembler.
Also, it displays in upper and lowercase and may not display correctly in earlier ][+ models without a lowercase chip.
Works on a //e anyway.
Re:
Does your post indicate you have one of these cards? (Hollywood Hardware)
Your EPROM interests me. I have plenty of 2716's available if you need a replacement.
Let me know what you're looking for to make a copy. It could likely go onto anything as long as I know
the start/length of the code. (I have lots of PROM burner equipment at my disposal, so I can make one up fairly easily)
Thanks for your reply.
