Reverse-engineering it would probably be harder than disassembling the bootstrap to outline the hardware, unless you don't mind pulling the PALs out of the board and have the tools to reverse-engineer them.

Fun toy, but not terribly useful in itself. > Terry Lambert -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
