Description
Control firmware for a loom, read from the machine’s chips before it was scrapped.
Provenance
Found during a house clearance in Stonemore Springs and passed to Lazarus. The chips were read several times in a programmer; one differing bit was resolved by majority. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
