I’ve only used it with the SMC 8416T. 

But:

“Shared memory” is not the boot ROM, it’s the address of where the card maps 
its onboard RAM (usually/always somewhere in the UMA). I would expect the 
driver to crash if it were told to use some address other than where the board 
mapped itself. I doubt CTOS makes any use of the ROM even if it were present.


ok
bear.
