Hi Dave:
I've read that there are some tricks to coaxing the data from memory
chips related to reading them under different conditions.
It's a lot of work, but it's possible to disassemble the code. That
would allow it to be repaired.
Have Fun,
Brooke Clarke

This is a call to anyone who has a Solartron 7081 and has saved a copy of
their ROMs (if you haven't you may end up in the same boat as I am - the one
that's up the creek without a paddle).
One of the ROMs on my earthy processor board has died.
It would appear that the ROMs in this 7081 were updated to a high level of
firmware at some stage in its life as the total ROM image size is greater
than that of a set that was copied by Bill Ezell from his 7081 even though
his meter has a higher serial number (461) than mine (180).
The ICs in question and the CRC16 checksums (in hex) for my ROM set are:
IC430 3238
IC415 C5C0
IC414 1260 <===== It is this one I want
IC413 B958
IC412 ED50
If you have saved your firmware ROM images, and the checksums for your ROMs
match these, I would be immensely grateful if you could send me the image
for IC414 (the middle one of the three).
If as a result of reading this message you feel impelled to save your ROM
images and find your checksums match these ...
Obviously if I can't find a good image of that ROM, I'll just install the
older firmware, but one never knows.
Cheers,
David Partridge
