didn't korneluk also own one?
His name is on the photos of the other box in the file archive.
I'm still horribly tempted to go and completely depopulate the board just so we can scan it in.

I have one too.


I emailed a link to this thread to a friend of mine, who replied with some information I think would be useful.  I do need to double check with him before posting it here (but bug me if I haven't in the next couple days).

Thanks.

Anyways, I was doing some desoldering on another piece of equipment I have and I decided to change my mind about desoldering the whole board.
As long as you don't have desoldering braid, it's a nightmare and I would rather not destroy this box.

I have one too... my memory is that the ROMs are basically Mac ROMs.

True, Actually are they not from an LC or LC II?

If you desolder it, you'll be sorry.  :-)  It's a simple circuit.  Easy to recover by hand.  Identifying those three parts and the gal programming, those will be the challenge.  An interesting thing is that the gal appears to have a 1999 date code on it.  I'm curious about that....

What can we use to read it?

I'm pulling out the scanner and am proceeding to make scans of everything in the package. Disks will also be imaged and I'll make a little note of the part numbers of the components we do know.

Okay, with the exception of the Disk images (I still don't know how to make images using Rawrite), everything has been scanned. Chips, documents, disks, the box, pinouts, everything.
Now I need a place to host it all.

Okay, I have completed imaging the disks.

Wonderful!
Have the chips on yours had their numbers ground off?

Well from what I recall no they seem to be OK, it's hard to check it now as my box is at home in the UK and I'm working abroad for at least another six months yet, I think I may have photos of it though, I'll see if I can dig them up

Great!  
If we can get the numbers off these last chips we should have all the info we need to start making our own Daydream boxes.
