Note
-
The 1.05 (250) differs from the 1.05 (255) 16MB only by the version header. Maybe because the device contains 8MB V250 BASE Mask ROM and 2MB V255 UK Flash ROM.
-
The 1.05 (255) 10MB and 16MB versions differs only by size (8MB Mask + 2MB Flash vs 16MB Mask) and by one unknown header.
-
Ericsson MC218 is a 5mx with a custom design and additional Ericsson software in ROM.
-
For some reason, the German version of the MC218 ROM does not contain the templates present in the English version.

Note
-
The 5mx PRO model is released only for the German market and does not have an official English ROM. The English version presented here is based on the 5mx ROM.
-
The name
sys$rom.binis standard for these files, as the 5mx PRO bootloader expects a file with this name to be present in the root of the CF card in order to load it into RAM. -
The version 1.05 (273) contains untranslated (English) Email and EPOC Web programs.
