1. OVERVIEW

This software allows a flash memory card to be used as an intermediate medium between a flash ROM (or RAM) on the machine and a Windows 95 based computer.

The basic procedure is as follows:

ROM File

1. You receive ROM files from a database either via network or via physical medium, and save them onto your computer’s local hard disk.

Your computer works as a flash memory card

programmer after you install a SwapBox and SwapFTL software (this software).

2. You program the ROM file to a flash memory card using this software.

Database

Link

Communication

3. You carry the programmed card to a machine site and download the ROM data from the card to the machine’s internal flash ROM.

The 4MB flash memory card that is customized for

this application is available from SPC. You cannot use other types of flash memory card.

4. After downloading ROM data to one machine, you can use the same card with another machine of the same type.
