Hello every1!!
OK...I got a PowerBook 520c, and I want 2 extract the ROM from it...
I tried running the GetROM program from a floppy, but nothing happened...
Then I tried copying the GetROM program to the hard drive, I ran it, and it worked!! :D
The reason it didnt work on a floppy was because it was a 2 MB file...
I copied the file to my PC and tried it in Basilisk II, didnt work!! :@
Why?? PowerBook 520c is 68040, so it's 68k, and Basilisk II emulates 68k...what could be the problem??
Hmm...maybe there was a problem while transferring it from the Mac to the PC?? (I mean, that resource and data fork thing...)
Thanx!! ;)

Basilisk II can't emulate PowerBooks as far as i know...
Try getting the ROM using CopyROM instead. maybe it
would do something different, doubt it though.
