>How can you avoid data loss as the computer ages, or is it inevitable? i dont think you can avoid it Terry the only way i know is for someone with an already exisiting working Eporm to copy it and then give it to you however many collectors have eprom copiers and are usually willing to help other collectors out the loss of data on an eprom can take many many years .. i have computers from 1977 that are perfectly fine. one of the factors contributing to the loss of data would be if a particular computer was displayed alot in direct sunlight rather then kept in a dark place in its box for example i know direct sunlight is very bad for eproms the problem with my T8 module is that it is VERY VERY rare and so its almost impossible for me to find who has it and is willing to copy it for me Best Steve
