    HEKTOR PT502 8085 machine

    I have been restoring one of these machines and run into a problem... After getting past the broken pins, dry joints, and bad IC sockets I have it narrowed down to 2 of the roms, the HEK1A SKT1 (2732) is blank, and the 2716 in IC5 has patches of &FF in 0100-01FF & 0400-04FF, I am not sure this...

    Open University Hektor III ROMs

    It's a long shot considering the timescales but does anyone have any information, rom images, etc, for the HEKTOR PT502 and its peripheral board? I have just acquired one, faulty, and the previous person suggested that it had 'many' faults!, so just trying to cover all bases?
