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.
