Description
Control firmware for a hearing aid, read from the machine’s chips before it was scrapped.
Provenance
Rescued from a skip outside a former office in Crowworth. The chips were read several times in a programmer; one differing bit was resolved by majority. Only fragments could be read. They are kept because nothing else of the work survives.
