How To Use the RPL Files
========================
The rboot.rom file is a binary file. The rboot.hex file is the
Intel Hex (8 bit) format of rboot.rom. Use the rboot.hex file to
burn an EPROM for the network card. There are no special dimensions
required of the EPROM, it just must be large enough to contain the
16K bytes of the RPL driver.
