I once got a
"TU58i" Monitor-program in an EPROM that replaces the original
firmware of a TU58, and then should provide the ability to (re)format a TU58

would be interested
in a dump of that EPROM...
Absolutely. Just about as good would be the algorithm reverse
engineered from it. But I can't really imagine that anyone at
HP nee Compaq nee DEC would really care about the ROM getting
out. Unless, of course, Mentec owns the TU58 ideas now...
