Grandfather system RTE6/VM?

I have two programmers of interest....

A Xeltek SuperPro III, able to burn the generic versions of the 2100
microcode ROM, which
is also the HP21MX boot loader ROM.

And a 'real' HP 2100 microcode ROM burner. This is a HP1000-series I/O
card with a cable
and 'pod' to hold the ROM in a ZIF socket.

These ROM's can be burnt, given a fairly large supply of blanks.
