/*
gcc ree.c -o ree.bin

rom extension extractor (ported to shell from the pascal version of 1997)
(and now it is .c, and like 69 times faster or so)
see http://www.firmware.com/support/bios/romext.htm for more info
extracts system, scsi, video bios

a checksum of 0 is ok! any other number indicates it is either not a rom
extension or the rom is defective

scan from c0000 - f0000 in 512 byte blocks
