[Premium-Rx] ROM or EPROM losing its content

[David Schofield]

Hi,

REGCO stands for Ralph E Grim company.
As far as I know Ralph was the lead designer for both CEI and a lot of WJ stuff, but fell out with the management after one of the many takovers and set up on his own in competition with WJ.

As far as an EPROM dump for one of these, I would think Steve Pappin, or possibly Terry O would be the best bet, but it'a pretty rare beast.

Good luck, and welcome to the group,

I recall from distant memory that REGGCO was a breakaway from the slightly 
incestuous EW group of WJ, Nems-Clarke and Norlin and my 1991/92 "Jane" 
gives the location as Rockville, Maryland, which is deffo EW/CIA type 
country!  The entry is for the RG-5545A and it's not dissimilar to the Racal 
RA1795, but it does have real meters and a small CRT.

Does anyone know any more?

I suspect the chances of a manual being available is more than remote.
