-    text: I never owned an MPF-1, but I did have the EPROM programmer and the printer. I bought these as a job lot from either Bull Electrical or Greenweld in the early 90s for a few pounds. The printer was pretty useless without the MPF-1. The EEPROM programmer on the other hand was easily adapted to work with a ZX Spectrum and I was able to burn 27-series EEPROM chips using it.

-      Dave Shepard''s comment that the picture on this mini-forum is perhaps not accurate. Partly true. The picture refers to, i believe is the MPF-1B. For a picture of the MPF-1A go to Wikipedia under Multitech MPF-1.\
-      I have technical questions but will post them on the main forum.

-    text: I have a MPF with a Bardehle Electronic video board. Thanks to Elco''s post I found the manual for it, but it turns out that I also need an eprom (called the VIDMON monitor according to the manual) to replace the usual MPF monitor rom. Does anyone know where I can find a dump of this rom? All of my searches have come up empty and I am very curious to see what this video board does. Thanks!
