Ok Joe, thanks.
I'll have a look in junk pile for some 2716s and try when the unit comes back...
Regards,
Julian

Julian,
Just looked on KO4BB and there are several 'files' of 8970A ROM's. One of them states they are '2716'.
I have not personally read and archived the 8970A ROM chips but I can do that if needed.
Good luck.
Joe

Ok, they came through ok...
It's an 8970B. Do you know if the ROMs for the A and B are interchangeable?
The 8970 isn't here at the moment - Do you now what type the ROM ICs are?

Just checked my 'files' and I found U1 - U13 files, both .BIN and .MOT, for the 8970A. Not sure where I got them as they date to 2007. Not my 'usual' label as I save from a unit I have.
If they don¡¯t come through on this email, I can post them somewhere or send them directly. Just let me know.
If they are not correct, let me know and I can open a unit I have and 'harvest' them. Headed OOT early in AM and will be back after Thanksgiving.
Hope this helps.

A or B? The B EPROMs are on ko4bb.com, at least for "Option H18," whatever that is. I don't think I've seen the A firmware floating around.
I just uploaded the standard 8970B firmware. Thought it was already there but didn't see it just now...

I have a faulty 8970, and I am told the ROMs on the controller board may be faulty.
Does anyone have a spare board, or the ROM chips with programme in?
