IMSAI EPROMS

Hi all...

I've been trying to get some action from this IMSAI for awhile now. Main
problem is I don't know what is on the EPROMs on the EconoROM board. It
looks like banks A & B, OR banks C & D, can be enabled together starting at
address 0000h. There are 6 2708's in A0 through B1, and 8 2708's in C0
through C3.

I've been looking for an EPROM burner that can read/write 2708's with no
luck so far. We have TWO machines at work, and neither will do it. Anyone
know of a burner that WILL?

I manually read the first 256 bytes of the first chip, and disassembled it,
also manually - I'm looking for a good disassembler program too! I've got
one called DASM V1.2 by John Wilson, but have been having some trouble with
it.

If you've got a few minutes, have a look at what I've included below - the
first 128 bytes of code. Let me know if any of it looks familiar. (Or if I
messed up the job!) The comments are for my own benefit - I'm pretty rusty
with assembler.
