Jay's questions about the DEC Boot Roms prompted me to go dig out some
boxs of Boot ROMs that I got from Thom. I checked the list but I can't find
any of these listed. Does anyone know what they're for? One box has just
one and it's marked 23-060E4-00. the next box has four PROMs and they're
marked 23034E2-00, 23-033E2-00, 23032E2 and 23-061E2-00. They're all 24 pin
.6 inch wide PROMs.
The next box has two 16 pin .3 inch wide PROMs with the numbers LM8513
990A9 and LM8514 767A9 on them. Those are DEC numbers NOT a commercail
number even though they sound like commercail PNs.
The last box has some markings on it (but they may not be right!). The
markings are water damaged and hard to read but I can read "M8317 bootup
module" so it appears to be for the PDP-8A. It has two .3 inch wide 16 pin
PROMs in it. They're marked 469A2 and 465A2 and both are also marked 8005
(date code?).
Anybody know what any of these PROMs are for?
