You need the following:
1. A high enough version of the EPROM
2. A PAL Fuse Map for burning a PAL that will allow the board to act as a QDT controller
(Disk and Tape)
3. A special cable that allows you to connect a Serial Terminal
4. Instructions on how to get into the hidden menu to configure the board
I should have #4, but I have no clue as to where it is. The person I knew that had #2
lost that data in a fire years ago. I seem to recall hearing about someone jury-rigging
#3, I used the proper cable and bulkhead plate.
If you burned your own PAL yourself and you didn't secure the PAL (or
does a PAL16L8 even have a security fuse?) then even if the known PAL
Fuse Map was lost I would assume that it could just be read back from
the PALs on the boards you have, along with dumping the firmware
EPROMs as well.

The person that burned the PAL's is the person that had the fire.
