:Well, the name of this page is still wrong, no matter where you see "ROM". ROM stands for, well, the read-only memory and not for the ROM of a few devices. So it should include a version number. If we don't find it out, because nobody can dump it, then we should try to find an adequate name without having the correct number. But as the page ist still empty (stub), we might also delete it until we know more. --[[User:Http|http]] ([[User talk:Http|talk]]) 18:36, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

It should stay. That is the name that is output when checking for the bootrom version. --iAdam1n (talk) 23:16, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Well, the name of this page is still wrong, no matter where you see "ROM". ROM stands for, well, the read-only memory and not for the ROM of a few devices. So it should include a version number. If we don't find it out, because nobody can dump it, then we should try to find an adequate name without having the correct number. But as the page ist still empty (stub), we might also delete it until we know more. --http (talk) 18:36, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

As long as it's not dumped though an exploit, we might never get the correct version. But that also means there is probably nothing to write about it. --http (talk) 09:49, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
