Description
Control firmware for a loom, read from the machine’s chips before it was scrapped.
Provenance
Found during a house clearance in East Grancrest and passed to Lazarus. 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.
