Re: MOS 6500/1 ROM archival service

Interesting.  I've got a Micropolis 1115-VI floppy drive with this same
MOS chip, 2 MHz crystal and all--but with a Micropolis ID.  Probably not
of any interest to the general hacker public.   I believe it manages the
buffered seek on the drive.

More like giving away the secret :-)

If anyone wants to send me one, I'll pop it into the reader and send 
back the data.

I realize it's been a while since this happened:

But, I have pulled my hacked reader out from mothballs to read a CPU 
someone is sending, so I thought I would inquire if others have 6500/1 
units that want read.
