HP Draftmaster II 7596A: EPROM dumps needed, urgent :-(

[David Collins]

I realised the attachments wouldn't show in the general email but I figured the only people who needed the binaries right now were the original posters who got them directly from the email.  

I'll put up the binaries of my EPROMs and the ones of yours when you post them as downloads in the museum website over the next few days so they are there for the future for anyone else who might need them.

Martin/Joachim, let us know if any of the files you now have or will get fixes your issue and if a Draftmaster II  is saved as a result!!
