Description
Firmware for an electric owl, including the routines that governed its feeding, sleeping and moods.
Provenance
Found during a house clearance in Fairgate and passed to Lazarus. The window labels had peeled and the EPROMs had been exposed to light, so each was read many times. All of the work survives. The repairs are listed in the record’s damage map.
