Data I/O manual sought

[Bruce Lane]

	I used to own a 29B before I found my UniSite. Update of the 29's firmware required replacement of the EPROMs and one 'decoder' PAL. The PAL was Data I/O's way of locking out people from copying their upgrade kit for more than one 29.

	I've tried (and failed -- the security fuse was popped) to read the decode PAL for the last and latest version (V6) of 29B firmware. If you can figure out the PAL side, I've got a ZIPfile containing images of at least the old V6 EPROMs that I could send along.

	Keep the peace(es).
