Tony,
It has five EPROMs in the bottom of it. They're marked "Copyright
Motorola 1990 0106705T77", "E1 HX2", "D1 HX2", "C1 HX2", "E1 HC2" in that
order. Are the last four the standard ROMs? There's also a Motorola
marked ROM in the ROM cartridge on the top. It's marked "Copyright Motorola
1991 0106705T57".
I could have a LOT of fun with it if I knew what radio it was for and how
to reprogram them :-)
