Description
Firmware for a pool robot sold for home use from 1999, read from a unit retired by its owners.
Provenance
Bought as part of a box of disks at an estate sale and donated anonymously. The chips were read several times in a programmer; one differing bit was resolved by majority. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
