I also still have some 19xx series boards since I had wanted to pull the proms to at least attempt to save
enough information so someone could try simulating the machine in the future. On the list of things to do
is try to save some 1700 2315-style 32 sector packs that I should be able to read if I can ever get back
to working on digitizing non 12 sector packs.
