Your new code for looking at the card's ROM is causing a problem for me. On some cards, typically the "Mac" cards, the ROM doesn't contain an x86 BIOS, but rather an OF driver. The current code will blindly tap that, though it contains none of the expected tables, and will use completely wrong values. Do you have ideas how to make some sanity checking on the ROM content ?
