When a MVS board is powered up without cartridges inserted, the border color around the edges of the crosshatch screen indicates the system ROM region:
- Green: 6 slot (ROM name ?)
- Cyan: USA, SPU2
- Blue: Spanish, SPS2
- Red: Japanese, SPJ2
UniBios tests
The Universe BIOS does not use the above color codes to indicate errors.
