Description
Control firmware for a synthesizer, read from the machine’s chips before it was scrapped.
Provenance
Found during a house clearance in Port Pineby and passed to Lazarus. The chips were read several times in a programmer; one differing bit was resolved by majority. Everything was recovered, with a few damaged files repaired from a second copy.
