Just received by email from the original owner...

"When I got the DL8a there were only the 4 EPROMs. Not sure what's in them
though, I found the what I assume was the code in the EPROMs when stepping
through memory, but I couldn't be bothered trying to disassemble it. "

I guess this implies that it was probably working, and that it would be safe
to power-up and step through the memory myself. Any agreement here, or is
this a bad idea?

Cheers
