Hi,
I can appreciate the different points of view expressed here. Overall, I think it will benefit the Simmons community if these files are made available.
I will upload them shortly. I can add more in time (SDS9, MT9, SDE) and hopfully others will too, also if anyone has any detailed knowledge about different software versions, that might be useful too.
Cheers, vout

Eproms can become corrupted and without a backup of the OS you are stuffed, and as the average age of this gear gets older, the likelihood of failure increases. Any thoughts?
