The I2C serial EEPROM will need to hold the M100/T102/T200 boot code, M100/T102 Disk BASIC Code and the T200 disk BASIC code (2 parts) which is probably not a lot of bytes by todays standards :-) The Disk BASIC also goes out to read the version info from the DVIs own boot code which is an interesting twist, it requests the specific sector where the version info is located. As all the sector locations are fixed they are very easy to intercept.

So far so good, powers up like it should. I've been reverse engineering the DVI, and I've decided to try and make this 100% compatible with DVI meaning the M100 will auto-detect it's presence, and MTVGA will auto-load and install the DVI software that originally came with DVI. This requires the ability for MTVGA to store and deliver to the M100 the needed DVI software. Plan is to use I2C serial eeprom for that. <snip>
