<REFERENCE>PRIME>DRB>MICROCODEPARTNUMBERS


This list of microcode floppy and PROM part numbers was gathered from examples in the hands of collectors, as well as ebay auctions and perhaps comp.sys.prime posts. It was collated by Dennis Boone, 2011-2019.

Prom-based

Older machines had any relevant microcode in PROMs in the VCP or on the control panel, or perhaps on the CPU boards themselves:

2350 PRD10001-001, PRD10003-003, PRM10041-001
2450 PRD10001-002, PRD10001-004, PRM10041-001
2455 PRD10001-005

These systems' info are still needed:

all three-digit machines
2250 (same cpu as 550, and maybe 350/400)

Floppy-based

Later machines' VCPs loaded microdiagnostics and microcode from the VCP floppy drive(s). Microcode and diagnostic firmware floppies all have the same base part number: DSK7084. The suffix indicates the distinction between target machines, and between the firmware floppy and the diagnostic floppy if they were separate:

2550 -905, -906, PRM8407-001
2655 -912, -913 --or-- -922, -923, PRM10037-001
2850 -950
2950 -953
4050 -935 (uCode) -936 (uDiag 1) -937 (uDiag 2)
4150 -928 (uCode) -929 (uDiag 1) -930 (uDiag 2)
4450 -933, -934
5310 -958
5320 -960, -961
5330 -962
5340 -956
5370 -964
6150 -940
6350 -924
6450 -941
6550 -927 (dual 6350)
6650 -943 (dual 6350)
9650 -902, -904, PRM3144-983
9655 -914, -915, PRM10038-001
9750 -907, -908, PRM8700-001
9755 -920, -921, PRM10108-001
9950 -901, -903, PRM3144-982
9955 -909, -910, PRM8698-001
9955II -918, -919, PRM10109-001

These items were observed, but had confusing information associated:

???? -954
        This was listed in an ebay auction by pacwesttrading.  They think
        they parted out a 2750, a 2955 and a 5370, but the auction named
        a 4150 cpu set by board id.

These systems' numbers are still needed:

2650 ???
2750 ???
2755 ???
2950 ???
2955 ???
