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.
