I have found an ancient PROM burner, a Data I/O System 19, with a Unipac
module fitted. Test stickers on it are dated 1980.
It came with an "Operators Synopsis" with which I am totally out of my depth
and a wall chart dated 1985 with details of PROMs of the day and which
Unipak revision applies to which.
??????????
I had hoped to be able to use it to back up older ROMs which my circa 1995
EPROM programmer can't handle. Is it usable for this?
It has a serial type connector but no software (it predates the PC). There
is an LED and a hexadecimal keyboard. It looks like it was meant to be used
manually !! Typing stuff in character by character.
There's nothing on Data I/O's website about this and they haven't replied to
my email as yet.
Can anyone offer advice?
Thanks
Hans

Are these PC clones? I have seen a tandy (1000, I think) that had a
microphone port. Why was this? I have also seen a tandy which was
sort of like a C64 except it had a 3.5" disk drive. I'm _certain_ it
was a tandy.

The 680's are nice, but the 1500 minbid limit on
each is way to high. I did send the seller a mail
with an reasonable bid - so maybe they end up in
Germany :)

We're located in northern VA, 7 miles from DC. The challenge is to get
the old stuff in the hands of those who want it so it doesn't wind up in
landfills.
We used to have "yard sales" to clear out the old stuff, but I got tired
of answering questions/complaints months later from people who bought an
entire system for $10, so eventually we just set the stuff out and let
any interested people take it away. With our student population
increasing, we're using every available space as classrooms.
Write me at backofene(a)hotmail.com if you want to help us "take out the
trash".

I've got the service manual that I used to use when I
supported them. I still have a couple of drives though
so I don't want to lose it. I could make a copy given
enough time (it must be ~200 pages). I was planning
to do that at some point since there's someone else
on the list that I promised a copy to (I'll have to dig
up that message to find out who).
Do they have an urgent need or are they just trying
to prepare for when they need it?
