Description
Behavior and service firmware for an electric toad, made to pass for the real thing at a glance.
Provenance
Found during a house clearance in Moorwater and passed to Lazarus. The window labels had peeled and the EPROMs had been exposed to light, so each was read many times. A handful of files survive, from a much larger whole.
Preservation
