ramsammy - Thanks for your query. I still haven't managed to get the EPROMs copied, never was able to get an affordable, reliable, and versatile PROM burner that could cover all the devices I needed copying/maintenance of. I see you found my original thread "Techno-Archeology..." about TimeLine...

miroslav, jpmorris, ramsammy, et al. Good to see the thread continuing. Sorry I've been absent for so long, too much "life" getting in the way. I still have my Microlynx, and am intending to get back to copying my EPROMs, but this may take more time, as I never managed to afford the PROM burner...

jpmorris - Bingo! The cache flush & refresh trick worked! Thanks for that hot tip. I wasn't aware of the Cntrl + F5 combo before, chalk it up to a naive user. Still a weird behavior for a Browser of any variety to not show some indication of content existence, even if unreadable. Not something...

FYI - Firefox Browser Users - RE: Missing Post Images For those thread readers who may be confused by apparently missing photo (.jpg) images (particularly from timkroeger's post #33, and sweetbeats posts #37 & 38), there appears to be a bug in certain versions of the Firefox browser (Rev. 5)...

FYI - Regarding Timeline Cable Schematics For the readers of this thread - a few months ago, the following thread was started to consolidate info regarding TimeLine products, and now includes the web's most complete known collection of pertinent cable schemos and other documentation...

Thanks again jpmorris. Odd, quirky bug this is, I think. I see your direct URL listings above, (original URL's), the pointers (links) seem to be working fine (the links are unbroken), yet the same links in the "Fabricating..." thread seem to be incapable of being parsed properly. They (the...

What the heck? I have no idea what's going on, maybe it's my browser. jpmorris, would you mind copy/pasting the source url's for timkroeger's pic, and the url for one of sweetbeats pics?

jpmorris, or anybody, would you mind taking a look at page 4 of the "Fabricating...Cables" thread to see if a photo submitted by timkroeger (embedded in post #33) appears, or do you see a blue question mark or similar indicating a missing file? Also, I'm not seeing any of the pics submitted by...

FYI everyone - The editing feature has (for now) returned to normal. The file I wasn't able to upload for post #62 was the schemo for the Ampex MM1200, and it has been re-uploaded successfully. Please let me know if any other PDF's were turned into white microdots, and I'll repair them (@glava).

jpmorris - <<U16 is the socket where the ROM is on both machines IIRC. There's an empty socket next to it and a jumper, so it might allow for some weird configuration where the ROM is split across two chips, I don't know.>> I think you are correct about the two EPROM sockets. I believe it's...

jpmorris - Man that is really disheartening about your jpg's being gone from that critical post! I just commented on the situation over at the thread about the server move that was linked to earlier...

jpmorris - Thanks for the info. I'm not sure I ever saw pictures, were they in some thread you could point out to me? Either way, it sounds as if the V-500 PROM was missing a vital option of some sort. Too bad we don't have a copy of an L-500 PROM to upgrade you to, as this would tell us more...

ecc83 - Can't hurt to have the data backed-up as many different ways and locations as possible, so sure, do what you can if you've got the time, space and bandwidth. I don't know about a "Download All" function though, which was another reason for me to centralize the data in this thread as much...

Whoops, my last post was a little out of sync with the current flow. Steenamaroo, thanks for the response and info. Yes, thanks to this site, I believe the major players here have exchanged most, if not all the rare files between ourselves as a sort of ad-hoc backup of them, which curiously...

jpmorris - By the way, before I post your lovely contributions of the EPROM images, I have a theory that TimeLine may have produced different EPROM firmware for possibly three variants of the Lynx, depending on installed hardware options. I believe the variants to be: 1. L-XXX (where XXX equals...
