C-BIOS(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual C-BIOS(7)
NAME
C-BIOS - provides open source BIOS ROM files for MSX computers
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the C-BIOS rom files.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
C-BIOS is an open source BIOS for MSX computers. C-BIOS can be shipped with MSX emulators so they are usable out-of-the-box.
Details about the BIOS calls available in the ROM files can be found at http://map.tni.nl/ but keep in mind the C-BIOS is work in progress
and does not support all BIOS calls yet.
C-BIOS comes in three versions currently. C-BIOS_MSX1 is compatible with MSX1 machines, C-BIOS_MSX2 is compatible with MSX2 machines and C-
BIOS_MSX2+ is compatible with MSX2+ machines.
Each version comes in three localisation variants, an international, Japanse (JP) and Brazilian (BR) one.
