Description
Control firmware for a car radio, read from the machine’s chips before it was scrapped.
Provenance
Transferred from the backlog of unread media at a partner archive. 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.
