Say Jay,
Check which model EEPROM chips your emulators use. I'll send you a
new chip with the latest build, and I'll send you a RS-232 to EEPROM
burner device so you can download new builds and cut EPROMs yourself.

That's exactly the correct period rack
:) Appears to maybe be missing one
of the antitip feet, but no huge deal. I have one identical to that, holds
two 2113's, 2748B, 7900A, and a I2C paper tape reader/punch emulator
(THANK YOU BOB!).
Kind of a long drive for me. I'd LOVE to
buy it, but... anybody
have any ideas for shipping that I can contact QUICKLY? Thanks in
advance.
I believe an empty rack of that style is around 105 pounds. Typical
dimensions, figure around 21 wide by 72 tall by maybe 30 deep. Secure
front door with duct tape, metal band it to pallet (with a piece of
cardboard on top - the top is painted/textured like the sides), wrap in
plastic, then ship out the door. See if the seller will band it to a
pallet & such, from the looks of where the rack is they may have that
capability. When you call a shipper, see if they will let you do a ship to
terminal, instead of ship to residence. If you can do that on both ends,
it saves a LOT. From one end... still helps.
