Since these are such out-of-date programs, maybe he could give us copies of the manuals.

Bill, Thanks so much! Would it be OK to include your directions above with the notes on Github? I will of course credit you for them. Can the emulator handle a ROM dump with a CE-158/CE-150 header attached? For the Rheem module I stripped the header and first 8K of blank space since it was wired as an 8K module but dumped as a 16K. I can strip the first 27 bytes (CE-158 header) off the files off for the LOGIC jr II module files if needed.

The LOGIC jr II program seems to be menu driven. I was able to type run and navigate though it although I know very little about HVAC engineering so my answers to the prompts were in all likelihood nonsensical.

I do hope to hear back from Don Sleeth as well. It would be nice to be able to document the development process that was used for pocket computers back in the day.
