Encountered an odd one this weekend. A custom option rom that says HOOT.BA on it's label, and uses the *elegant* EME Systems 27C256 option rom adapter.
When you run it (using either the 2 lines on the label or the standard "CALL 63012") It launches into some program, but doesn't leave any .co or .ba installed in the main menu. It does leave a couple of .do, but they seem to be data for the program, not documents. Reading the various strings in the rom, it seems to be some kind of weather monitoring util. It mentions something called OWL or OWL2 a lot, looks like it has support to use a RAMPAC, and connects to something on a pc via serial cable (called an owl cable), and can dial up something with the modem and upload something via xmodem, which in turn implies there's an xmodem implementation in there somewhere. It looks like a very special-purpose thing, that's for sure. I dumped the rom and disassembled the package to get some clear pics of the EME adapter.
