Subject: Query for dec teleprinter roms
Does anyone have an LA36, LA120 or LAS12, LA34,
LA100, or LA210 somewhere which they could dump
the ROMs from?
....
LA100 (AKA LW100)... I have no idea. There's
definitely at least one rom revision. Also to
the best of my knowledge neither the maintenance
print set nor the technical manual for the LA100
are scanned (they certainly don't appear at
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/terminal/la100/ )
, which makes it difficult to know.

I've scrapped several LA100s and may even still
have a complete one somewhere, but I should at
least still have a PCB with the ROMs. When I find
it I'll dump them and email them to you.
Note that there were two versions of the LA100:
the LetterWriter (with full keyboard) and the
LetterPrinter (with only a small control panel);
mine are/were the RO LetterPrinters.
I should also still have the complete maintenance
docs. I checked Bitsavers a few years ago to see
if they were worth scanning and I could have sworn
they already had them, including the print set, so
I forgot about them; don't see it now so the
senility must be getting worse.
I'll have a look but if/when I find them I don't
think I can scan the print set; IIRC the pages
were longer than 14".
