In this video we try to discover a day to discover the BASIC programs which have been hidden away on ROM modules for 35 years. The programs cannot be directly listed or printed to other methods had to be found. Join us as we try a few methods to recover these ROMs and find out what these programs do.
WARNING: Vintage pocket computers were harmed during the filming of this video!
