Any interest in the LA180 DECprinter? I have one of those that I would
have to take a look at to see what sort of ROMs are in it and if they
are socketed and if I could read them.

Turnbull's site does contain an archive, but it isn't anywhere near
complete. The drivers in MAME/MESS also act as a sort of archive as well.
The direct prompt of this request was the desire to get one or more of the
dot matrix teleprinters running in MAME/MESS, the progress of which can be
seen at
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mess/drivers/decwritr.c ,
with the LA120, but the ROMs I have right know for the LA120 fail their
built-in checksum test, so I'm stuck at a development impasse until I can
get some more roms to work with (or correctly re-dumped copies of the
existing roms).
The end result of what I'm trying to do would hopefully look something like

What are you going to do with these? Is there a ROM archive for DEC
