Thanks for the link.

Did you notice that Vintage Micros are making a batch of Z8 ROMs for sale?

(BTW: I'm not associated with Vintagemicros, but have brought a lot of equipment off them over many years).

Kind regards,

I have used these files and confirm that they do indeed work. I used a 2732A EPROM. The tricky part is that you need to find a Z8613RS Z8. Not terribly common these days. One of my Profiles actually had one installed, so that is how I got mine. The floppy disk images are in ProDos order. I used a IIGS to convert them to real 5.25" floppies. I'm thinking of putting together a write-up that I can post on this site.

That would be great!

I'm very keen to reformat a few dead Profiles I have to see if I can get them back to life to work with their original machines (I've got Apple ][ and /// interfaces plus a few Lisas).

Kind regards,
