Description
Control firmware for an answering machine, read from the machine’s chips before it was scrapped.
Provenance
Brought to a Lazarus rescue day by a former owner. The window labels had peeled and the EPROMs had been exposed to light, so each was read many times. Independent reads agree bit for bit.
