To
split
a 1 megabyte
BIOS file
you may
execute:
cat bios_filename.bin
| split
-b 256k
- foo
The "bios_filename.bin"
is the
file name
of your
1 MB BIOS
file.
The name
"foo"
is the
file name
of your
split
files.
The split
command
will append
a
two letter
suffix
to each
split
file.
After
you execute
the command
you will
have four
files.
They will
be named
fooaa,
fooab,
fooac,
and fooad.
The
final
file fooad
is the
one that
you should
use to
program
your MOD
chip.
