        You should be able to use the normal rom files. There is no ME etc that requires a different file for the complete rom.

          Thank you for the help...but the flash what I read initial has 1024kb, all rom's have 512K.
          When I try to program your rom in 49LF008A I have an error0_1530164617042_C4.JPG
          What I make wrong?

            Some of the later Xe boxes did have a 1M ROM chip but I don't believe the actual ROM image was any different. I never saw one myself but there were others who did. You might be bale to find one linked here somewhere, unfortunately the main thread where you might have looked was accidentally deleted some while back. 😞

            You could write the 512K image to it anyway. Or somehow increase the image size to 1M so it's happy.

            You could get a 512K ROM chip and use that.

                  The CF card slot does not support DMA so if you are using a CF card that is UDMA capable (almost all of them) you need to disable it:
