If you want to archive the ROMs on the FTP site, that would be do-able.... <a href="ftp://ftp.flippers.com/incoming" eudora="autourl">ftp.flippers.com/incoming<br><br>

I have one, I just recently got it dead, and it was a 10 minute<br>
fix happily. If you ever have a problem where there is no powerup and the AC<br>
power is not coming out of the IEC/Fuse/VSelect assembly at the rear, one of the<br>
pins to the little PCB sandwich that is the voltage selector is only a right<br>
angle solder connection to the rear PCB, and this one had cracked the solder<br>
on that pin (the solder is the only mechanical strength in it, others are ok).<br><br>
Anyway, all but one of the labels have fallen off the ROMS in my one,<br>
it is base software V2.40, 02/26/87<br>
and the Library ROM I cannot identify, but in the Library Menu it says V1.60<br><br>
It looks like you can put another library ROM in one of the front sockets, and<br>
then in the menus select to use that one instead...<br><br>
Would you mind posting or emailing me your later version ROM images, and<br>
locations for which ROM is which as my labels are off?<br>
I was about to backup the ROMS in mine today, I'll zip it up and send it later.<br><br>
I'd love to see the disassembly and any other info you have :)<br><br>
Do you have manuals? I have nothing but the unit...<br><br>
I have the Micro Sciences ICT-101 (Dallas, TX) also, an older unit, and to my surprise<br>
it is obviously the same company that made the two, although the boards are<br>
different, the appearance and layout are very similar.<br>
I have the manuals and schematics for the ICT-101 but they're not nearly similar<br>
enough in electronic design.<br><br>
thanks,<br><br>

&gt; Does anyone else have one of these units?&nbsp; I've disassembled the<br>
&gt; software in order to update the unit to a wider range of devices<br>
&gt; supported.&nbsp;&nbsp; Looking to see if anyone has any other version of firmware<br>
&gt; in their unit.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Mine has the base software as V2.50, 03/19/87.<br>
&gt; Library is &quot;STD&quot; V1.6 2/18/87.<br>
