[sdiy] Oberheim Matrix 6r ROM image needed

[Terry Shultz]

FYI,

When I was designing the Emulator II at Emu , I built my own E-Prom Programmer using an Audity CPU board we had for our Dev.
system. The Drumulator, Emulator 1 & 2 eproms were programmed on a Home made e-prom programmer that was wire-wrapped and built into the Audity CPU platform.

I built about 6 Audity CPU systems for Office and Engineering use but only one made it into the Synth.

The Audity CPU board was a clone of the Zilog ZDS-120 RIO development system.

Just thought you guys might like to know a bit o’ history on the Emulator.

By the way, the Emulator 1 & 2 were also based on the ZDS 120  RIO system too.

just my 2 cents.
