Anyone here have an S2000 and an EPROM reader?

Let me know as I am trying to repair an S2000 with a dead OS EPROM.

Willing to pay within a reasonable range for your time.

Richie,
I have an Akai S2000 and a EPROM reader. On my machine, I need to insert the operating system disk every time I startup the machine as instructed in the manual. Do you have the OS disk?

@fernie69, I do not have an OS disk on hand however I can create one. Any reason why you're asking?

The S2000 OS loads from the disk every time you power it up. The one I had anyways...

I am asking just to make sure that is not just the disk what you need. So you need an EPROM writen, right? how can I identify the EPROM on the mother board?

@fernie59, I see. I thought maybe you wanted to do a trade where I sent you an OS disk for your own usage.

There is only 1 eprom on the mainboard, located in a removable dip28 socket, IC12. You'll likely have version 1.0 or 1.5 installed
