Prophet 2002+ firmware

2008-09-01 by John Pallister

Hi,

Well, it has only taken me a year or so, but I've finally 
ripped my P2002+ firmware for you, all 32kB of it. The chip 
in mine is an Atmel AT27256-25DC1. Unfortunately the sticker 
had come off the little quartz window, so I can't say 
exactly what version it is, but as I said, mine definitely 
has the memory expansion and the multiple outputs, so it 
should do the job for you.

Cheers,

John :^P
