Description
Behavior and service firmware for an electric cat, made to pass for the real thing at a glance.
Provenance
Found in a school storeroom when the building was cleared. The window labels had peeled and the EPROMs had been exposed to light, so each was read many times. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
