Description
Control firmware for a tram ticket machine, read from the machine’s chips before it was scrapped.
Provenance
Deposited by Plover Heritage Collection in 2014. 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.
