The rombo is a generic device that can have any rom you wanted loaded on it, like a thumb drive. Doesn't have to be written by or even licensed by EME. And there are a few different roms that had disk support in them.
After re-seating, call 63012 still didn't work any better? If you're really curious you could mail the rom to one of us who can read it out. (I could do it easy) Or maybe you have a local electronics shop and they can read it. If it's a rombo, then it has a standard 28 pin soic eprom, and they can clip a soic28 test clip on it. Or if you want I could tell you exactly what to get and what to do if you wanted to get an eprom burner and test clip and dump it yourself. Though finding the BASIC program to do it would be about $75 cheaper! Then we can look at it easy.
