Subject: VT-180 (Robin) EPROM images?

Does anybody have images of the v2.1 Z-80 firmware for the VT-180 (aka
Robin) ? At least, I think 2.1 was the last version ever released. They
should be DEC part numbers 23-017E3-00 and 23-021E3-00.
Thanks,
Bob Armstrong
I have enough of them laying around I could supply the actual roms. I've
never imaged them as It's easier to replace the code outright.
Curious why are you looking for them?

I noticed a post from 2007 where someone was searching for the VT-180 EPROM images. I?ve
included the post below. I don?t understand the response, ?I've never imaged them as
It's easier to replace the code outright.? I was wondering if the images were ever
made available or if someone could explain that response to me. Any help would be
appreciated...

I think Allison's point was that instead of imaging the ROMs and
burning new ones, she had enough laying around that she just did a ROM
swap if needed.

Allison is free to speak up, but from other conversations with her
about CP/M BIOS, my interpretation was that she wouldn't bother
cataloging and storing ROM images, she would just whip up
freshly-compiled code that matches the hardware and burn a ROM from
that. She has that level of experience and familiarity with it. I do
not. I would trade in verified ROM images myself (but one of these
days, I'm going to build a from-scratch CP/M machine just for the
experience of doing so).

Perhaps you are using an older e--mail address? I mined my own inbox
and immediately found a conversation she participated in as recently
as June, 2013, but I agree that I haven't heard much from her lately.
