Oh good luck! we're still going to try and dump the full firmware out of the device so we can see about writing code for it, though. :)

So, we do have a thought as far as getting a working copy of the Flash for you — since it reads the entire firmware at startup, we can probably tap the data bus with a logic analyzer, and turn that into an S-rec file. We wouldn't expect the 2080 firmware to work well on the other model, but do...

Reached out to Teledyne LeCroy on their support page, and an extremely helpful guy called us back; unfortunately, he looked, and they haven't kept archives for legacy gear, and so we're kinda on our own here. Alas.

PFA, in no particular order, visuals of the ribbon cables. Some of them _do_ have "Pin 1" markings on the silkscreen, fwiw.

Hi there, here is a dump of the boot ROM. There are two more EEPROMs that look like Atmel 17c128s for the FPGAs, and judging by the lack of SCSI strings in the boot rom, I'm going to guess that the bulk of the firmware is in a soldered-on Flash chip. I'm not sure how to dump those off hand. Also...

sure thing, probably can get around to that later this week :) luckily, you caught us with some time off and we've got a brand new handheld USB-C-powered screwdriver that we've been itching to try out; this gives us the perfect opportunity. fwiw, the file you attached only has ~24k of what...

Also you'll want a flat-top battery — being used to AAs, we bought an unprotected button-top and found it to be a little too big to fit without stressing the battery holder.

Unfortunately, we were never able to track down an upgrade file. We could PROBABLY dump the ROMs, but then getting them back onto another unit either requires you to also have the ability to write them, or us to reverse-engineer the upgrade format. :/

thanks! they're uploaded and being processed right now :)

no problem! always glad to increase the amount of preserved obscure software in the world. :)

Here's Gobe 2.0 and Corum III in bin/cue format.

ah, no, we're very normal and ended up compiling cdrdao and using that to produce bin/cues for our Gobe 2.0 disc (it does not say 2.0.1 on it, just 2.0) and both discs of Corum III. :) The second disc of Corum III is all audio. We'll upload them all to archive.org later tonight.

we've got another copy of Gobe Productive and also Corum III, which is a JRPG. If our Gobe is a different version than 2.01 we'll dump it, and also dump Corum III :)

On machines with an Egret or CUDA microcontroller for the ADB, the cmd-power and cmd-control-power keystroke is handled there, and at least the NMI keystroke can be enabled or disabled by talking to the Egret/CUDA. We would figure that's what the developer technote is talking about with the...

per the hardware devnotes the IIci indeed disables the NMI keystroke and requires a control panel to turn it back on. No idea where to find that control panel, of course. Maybe someone else can help there?

i *think* either some ROMs or some OS versions go about disabling the NMI key at the ADB controller level (where it is processed) but we don't remember where we read that...

I'm interested in the second run, definitely :)

Hi y'all, For SCSI hacking purposes, we picked up an Ancot Ultra2000 SCSI analyzer. It works alright, but it's got firmware 2.1 on it, and we know from searching that there exists a 2.2 upgrade. Unfortunately, Ancot itself underwent Total Existence Failure and all of their property is locked...

Oh _dear_ that's some incredibly cursed arcana. Wew.

sorry to double-post, but, some other random tidbits floated to the top of our mind just before we fell asleep - on a lot of UNIX systems, the kernel debugger is fairly likely to communicate via serial port. in emulation this is less of a problem because you can tell qemu to connect the serial...
