Hi everybody,

i have three Simmons SDS-1000, two of them non working, the
microcontrollers are dead, the other one its working very nice.

I want to know if someone know where to get another microcontroller.
I went to a electronic shop, and i wanted to make a copy but the said
the micro is protected. But i'm not sure is that true. I know that
chip have a lock protection for software piracy. But is there a way
to hack to make the copy possible ?

This Simmons use the 8051 microcontroller.

Thanks


Akira
