How would you go about dumping the SE ROM? Is that a
board that plugs into
one of the two expansion slots?
Yes. I also have one that's piggy backed onto a serial card.
Are the ROMs on the board socketed so you
could remove them and read and dump them?
IIRC they're soldered on and there are eight PROMs.
Assuming that would be possible,
I wonder what it would take to build a new board with
the same functionality
and ROM images.
I doubt it would be very difficult. They're just mapped in the 68000s memory space.
Given the size of the EPROMs available today I suspect you could make a replacement OS ROM
(not card) that would contain the OS ROM and SE ROM in one or two EPROMS and a PAL to do
any necessary address decoding.
I have two IPCs, but no SE ROM for either. I have the BASIC ROM daughter
board for the HP-UX ROM board for one of them, but not the other. I was
going to try to come up with a way to dump the BASIC ROM, but never really
got started with that project.
Same here. I shouldn't be difficult to write a C-program to read the BASIC and/or
SE ROMs and dump the contents over the serial port, I just never got around to it.

Congradulations on the purchase of the IPC. I have several of them and
they're intersting machines. No but I'm not selling my SE ROM! If I ever
get my EPROM programmer working (Anybody got a service manual for the Data
I/O Unisite?), I may be able to dump the ROM. I also have the ROM for the
Technical BASIC.
