2 of
'WORKSTATION' EPROMs, (C) University of Sussex. Probably for the BBC
micro. Any ideas?
Yep, for BBC. (At least, I have an image of a "Workstation" ROM, (C)1983
University of Sussex Computing Centre, so I presume it's the same thing!)
It's a terminal emulator - VT52, 4010 or "dumb". The "setup"
option only
allows changing of baud rate, up to 9600, so it seems not to be a
What, no parity, etc, settings. Ouch!
particularly sophisticated terminal emulator.. looks
like it was a
internal or low-distribution release, based on the apparent 4-digit serial
No. on the title screen..
There's a 4 digit hex serial number on the label of the EPROM too.
Different numbers on the 2 EPROMS I have, of course.
You didn't happen to come across a 6502 second processor did you? I'm
after one, if cheap or for swaps..
No, I only have one of those (I only have 1 each of the 6502, Z80, and
ARM 1 second processors, and the large-board 32016 in the ACW).
