Hi All,

Does anyone have image files for firmware version P83048 knocking about?
This is the latest version of firmware that will run in one of my newly 
acquired units.
Unfortunately when I acquired it, the previous owner had managed to 
insert one of the EPROM's (U5) in the wrong way round, so that was the 
end of that one...

It arrived running P80961 which I don't have a copy of either, well I 
have U6 and U7 now, but not much good without U5.
This is very early firmware though, so early it is not even in the 
official Racal firmware data I have available which starts at P80963, so 
I'd rather track down the latest stuff instead.

I've got the Rx running OK with version P84163 which has nearly all the 
bells and whistles, but no BITE functionality, which is very handy if / 
when something goes wrong.

I currently have the following available to swap if anyone's interested;

P83056 GB/xx/xx/D/5/x  Mk3 Pre BITE GPIB 1Hz list search & special facility

P84163 GB/xx/xx/x/5/x  MK3 Pre BITE 1Hz list search & special facility

P80961 (U6 and U7 only) GB/xx/xx/D/5/x GPIB 1Hz list search & special 
facility

P82123 GB/xx/xx/x/1/x  Mk5 LSI BITE GPIB 1Hz list search

P83041 GA/xx/xx/x/1/x  Mk3 Pre BITE 1Hz list search

P83043 GB/xx/xx/x/1/x Mk3 Pre BITE 1Hz list search

P90076 GB/xx/xx/D/7/x Mk3 Pre BITE GPIB 1Hz scan search & special facility

Pxxxxxx (2x 2732 EPROM set, currently unidentified, as EPROM windows 
were masked with tape)

I've no idea what the "special facility" is, it's just what is listed in 
the firmware catalogue.......

I'm happy to share the above firmware with anyone who wants a copy, but 
it would be nice to get a collection of all the available versions 
together before the EPROM data rots away, so contributions welcome....

Cheers,
Dave.S.
