1. A while ago, I remember seeing the 8048 firmware for the IBM Model F keyboard posted online. I can no longer seem to find it. Does anyone have a copy of it?

2. Additionally, I recall that with the copy I had, there was no context to how it was read out. Is there a debug/test mode on 8048 that lets you read out the firmware, similar to NCR 6500/1 (the Amiga keyboard controller, which has a few documented ways to read the mask ROM)?

Protesting is your right, but it can be risky—especially in today's climate.

I've crusaded against Internet claims that the 6502 was made by Mostek for over 40 years. The 6502 was developed and initially introduced by MOS Technology, an unrelated company. The 6502 wws licensed to and produced by other companies, including Synertek and Rockwell, but never by Mostek, which was more famous for being the original fab for, and second-source of, the Zilog Z80.

Every autistic person drank water before they were diagnosed. Water causes autism.
Outside the tech world, everyone talks about public figures like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Sam Altman, and others. However, those in IT or with CS background know that people like Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, Alan Turing, researchers and mathematician are the ones who truly built this industry. Sadly, they don't get enough credit or movies. People these days worship grifters and I think it is really sad.
RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.
