I'm not sure what you mean by "import my rom image to POSE". If you mean "I
launch Poser and get a window with a blank graphic on it -- what do I do next",
then you should be right-clicking on the window to bring up a menu. Select the
"New" menu item. In the resulting dialog, select the desired device, select a
matching ROM, optionally change the RAM size and skin, and click on OK.

You have a slow computer? I don't know. It takes about 10 minutes on my
128Meg, 333MHz Intel box.
People have made RPMs in the past, but I don't know if they keep them current,
or where they are. I see one on <http://www.rpmfind.net/>, but it's two
versions out of date.

I don't know what you mean by this. What do you mean by "default version"? And
what menu are you referring to?

I don't know. You're not giving us any information on what's going wrong.
In general, Poser looks for files with names ending in .rom. But that should be
irrelevent. Poser doesn't actually care; you can give the ROM image any name
you want.

Check out the man page for pilot-xfer.

OK, *this* question belongs in this forum. But I don't know the answer, so I
can't help you. You might want to break it out under its own subject if no one
else sees it in this thread.
