Hi Greg,

Actually there is a great support group on Yahoo for the Data I/O 
programmers - I joined it years ago and it is moderated by Alferd Marin 
who bought up all of I/Os obsolete gear. Alfred is a great help, often 
giving advice on setups etc. for the various older I/O gear.

Go to Yahoo.com and look for the DATA_IO_EPROM group - easy to join! 
Tons of archived info on upgrading the 29 series machines including 
adding more memory and getting them to the last revision level. Well 
worth the visit!

Data I/O has a good web site of archived data:

http://www.dataio.com/Support/TechnicalLibrary

And of course TTL has the Data I/O library too.

FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment (under Data IO 
of course!)
