then wrote a quick tool to convert from the text file into a properly
ordered binary that I then burned onto some NOS MMI 6300 PROMs using an
ancient Data I/O 29A programmer. (I found the PROMs on eBay for about
$4 each...)
It's *just* that simple :). If anyone's interested in the resultant
binaries, let me know.

Hi all --
The CPU in the 11/05 seems to be behaving nicely as far as I can
tell, now that the Microcode ROMs are no longer filled with bogus
data. It will run small programs I've toggled in without issue, and
so I've moved on to testing the memory.
Josh, what do you end up doing to recreate the ROMs?
Thanks,
John S.
