Mac OS ROM Image

The NewWorld version of the Mac OS ROM Image is similar to the old Mac OS ROM in that it has a similar layout and contains many of the same components as it did before.

The Mac OS ROM Image includes code that contains hardware-specific support, including ADB, VIA, Cuda/Egret, MESH SCSI, and the Heathrow/CHRP/UltraDMA AIMs. In the future, that code can be moved out of the Mac OS ROM Image when there is a mechanism to load it from a boot volume at boot time.
