Does anyone know where to find ROM chip images of the AT&T Unix PC Debugger ROMs?
Here's the context:
AT&T Technical Reference Manual
4 Logic Board Test Procedures
4-6 Debugger Program
On page 4-6 (PDF page 179), we read about the Debugger Program.
Here's the link to that page in the manual:
(WARNING: this URL loads the entire 488-page PDF, and then redirects to page 179. h/t DoN)
http://www.unixpc.org/UNIXPC_Ref.pdf#page=179
I don't see anything on Bitsavers at http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/bits/ATT/unixPC/
Further Google searching brings up a 16-year-old alt.folklore.computer
post by jchausler discussing debug ROMs for the MC6800 (different than
the MC68k) processor: "the debug ROM called MIKBUG."

This does not seem to be what I'm looking for, so I don't know if any
of this is relevant, but I'm hoping it may spark someone's memory and interest.
I don't think that these were ever release by either AT&T or
Convergent Technologies, so unless you can find someone who commercially repaired these systems, the odds are pretty much against you.
And DoN, I also wanted to thank you for your previous response here,
on this thread, as well as every other post I've ever made here.
As always, your knowledge is very much respected and appreciated by
me, and I very much appreciate you taking the effort and time to share everything you have here, both recently and over the years.
I just realized that I neglected to say that in my previous message,
but I meant to.

DoN, I can't believe that we found this, but here is a post on this
very forum on this very topic...but it's from 1992!

It was made by the late Thad Floryan, and you even weighed in on the
topic. I'm not at all surprised that you wouldn't remember this, being
that it was over 24 years ago!
BUT, could you please re-read this post, and comment back here?
Since you had archived one of Thad's resources for me before (tProbe),
I'm wondering if you might have snagged and archived a copy of what he archived here?
