Rumor has it that Cameron Kaiser may have mentioned these words:
Good news: the EPROMs I have are from straight from HHCs and are built into
the carrier. Just plug and go. ;-) I just happen to have a metric buttload
of 'em as well!
Better news: I was hoping not to pay $75 for buy-it-now, so I just put the
$50 bid on it hoping no-one else would bid. The guy ended the auction
early, so it's mine! $55 shipped, and already paid for. ;-)
Now to climb the stairs to the 3rd floor attic and find my HHC... ;-)
(That, and find my wire-wrap tool to hack up an adapter for my EPROM reader...)
Oh, Happy Day!
Laterz,

(?||?) If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead

It's
nutjob-expensive, if you ask me - but the guy's 2 - one he's epaying
alone ($50 USD opening bid, BIN for $75) and he's got another complete
machine with the BASIC ROM in it for $115 BIN, IIRC. No bids on either
one... should I snag the ROM to make backups of it? :-O
Will another chance come along like this at all???
Anyone wanna go in with me on it? *I gotz the Eproms...*
If you have the capsule carriers, too, I'll pitch in for a copy. I'm not
skilled enough to build my own module, though, alas.
