Carnivore2+ MultiFunctional Cartridge

On some MSX computers with built-in firmware, for example Sony HB-75P, after exiting the Boot Menu it's impossible to
boot Nextor (DOS2) as the control is passed to the firmware instead of Nextor's BIOS. There's not a trivial way to
bypass the firmware on various MSX systems, but for some of them there is a solution.

This folder contains the special ROM file that should be added into the Carnivore2+ FlashROM by the C2MAN or C2MAN40
utility. Please make sure that the RCP file is located in the same folder as the BYPASSFW.ROM when flashing. After a
reboot you need to enter the Dual-Slot configuration screen (with Enter button) and set up the cartridge configuration
as seen on the "bypassfw_cfg.png" image. Once set, press Enter and Carnivore2 will boot into Nextor (DOS2).

The firmware bypassing should work on the following computers: Mitsubishi ML-G1, National FS-4000, FS-4500, FS-4600,
FS-4700, Toshiba HX-21I, HX-22I, HX-23I, Sony HB-55P, HB-75D, HB-75P, HB-101, HB-101P, HB-201, HB-201P, HB-F1, HB-F1II,
HB-F9P/S and maybe on some other systems. On Panasonic FS-A1 and similar systems this ROM should also work. But if it
fails, the only way to boot to Nextor would be removing the firmare from the computer's ROM chip.
