Description
Behavior and service firmware for an electric tortoise, made to pass for the real thing at a glance.
Provenance
Deposited by Pineworth Library and Archives, which had held it unread for years. The controller had failed, so the memory chip was removed and read directly. Independent reads agree bit for bit.
Preservation
