Supercom Apple II Clone ROMs
This page preserves a set of ROM dumps taken from a Supercom Apple II compatible clone motherboard. The machine carries three separate ROM chips, presented here both as individual binary files and as one complete ZIP archive for easier download.
Pages like this aim to connect the digital files back to the original hardware. Alongside the ROM dumps, you will also find a motherboard overview image and close-up photographs of the chips themselves.

Why these ROMs matter
- Clone ROMs can reveal how closely a machine follows the original Apple II design.
- Separate chip dumps are useful for board repair, ROM replacement, and low-level comparison work.
- Boot behaviour, compatibility quirks, and monitor routines often live inside the firmware.
- Including photographs of the motherboard and the chips helps preserve the physical context of the dumps.
ROM 1
Individual binary dump from the Supercom motherboard
This file contains the first ROM dump from the board. It is provided separately for visitors who want to examine or compare the chips one by one, rather than downloading the complete set at once.

Close-up photograph of the first ROM chip. Presenting the image alongside the dump helps keep the link between the physical component and the archived file visible.
ROM 2
Individual binary dump from the Supercom motherboard
This file contains the second ROM dump from the board. It is offered separately to make chip-level study, preservation, and restoration work more straightforward.

ROM 3
Individual binary dump from the Supercom motherboard
This file contains the third ROM dump from the board. Together, the three files form the preserved ROM set currently available for this Supercom machine.

Complete ROM Set
Combined ZIP archive containing all three ROM dumps
This ZIP package contains the full set of currently available Supercom ROM dumps in one download. It is the simplest option for visitors who want to keep the set together as a complete archive item.

Archive Notes
This page brings together the motherboard overview, close-up chip photography, and the resulting binary dumps in a single preservation-focused record. That combination helps document not only the files themselves, but also the hardware context they came from.
A future expanded version could include checksum values, socket positions, ROM behaviour notes, and comparison remarks against known Apple II firmware. Even in its current form, however, this page already serves as a useful and readable record of a Supercom clone ROM set.
Supercom Service Manual
Reference document • PDF download
This is more than just a manual. It is a remarkably complete guide to an Apple II compatible system, covering both everyday use and the deeper technical workings of the machine.

Inside, you will find step-by-step guidance for BASIC programming in both Integer BASIC and Applesoft, explanations of how software was saved to cassette and Disk II, early examples of graphics and sound, access to the machine language monitor and assembler, and a detailed look at how the system works under the hood.
What makes this document especially interesting is how open it feels. Very little is concealed from the user: this is the kind of computer that expects you to learn from it, explore it, program it, and, when needed, repair it.
Supercom System Disk Manual 3.3
Reference document • July 1984 • PDF download
Dutch
A compact yet practical manual for the Supercom system disk (July 1984), focused on getting a system up and running quickly while introducing the core concepts behind disk-based operation.

The manual guides the user through booting the system, loading programs into memory, and working with different file types, before expanding into a broader set of disk commands and utilities. These include tools for file management, disk copying, DOS conversion, BASIC editing, and 6502 machine code development.
This particular copy was acquired together with a keyboard for the system, a reminder of how documentation and hardware were often kept together as part of a complete and usable setup.
More than a simple instruction guide, the document reflects a hands-on computing environment where understanding the system was not optional, but part of everyday use and exploration.
