Comment on z386: An Open-Source 80386 Built Around Original MicrocodeparentComments−nand2mario3moNot really. The 386 does not have an interface to read the ROM direclty. Instead, it uses the Built-In Self-Test (BIST) to verify the ROM's contents. It's basically a checksum-like mechanism that verify the integrity of the CROM.
