A project log for OMNI 4 - a Kaypro 2x Logic Analyzer

A while back I acquired a rare logic-analyzer, whose lone system-diskette needed backing-up. Now this page is all things OMNI 4

1) An image-search for '"Omni 4" "Logic Analyzer"' results in many hits from this project-page... pretty cool. OTOH, it's quite strange, saying that many of the images are "4-5 days ago" that were actually several months ago. (is it 4-5 days ago that Google crawled on 'em?)

2) A resulting-image doesn't show anything related to the OMNI4... so I clicked through to the page to see what Google thought made it relevant... Apparently MAME now comes with the OMNI4 ROM (?!)

hmmm....

A bit more research...

Added as a 'diff' patch 10-15-2017.downloads/mame/mame-0191/

Cool! Glad to see it won't get lost to bit-rot. Is this your doing @Ziggurat29?

...ah... the ROM's not included with MAME's source-code... so I guess it still has to be downloaded from somewhere.

Nope, not my doing. I did post a reply on a forum (I cant' recall precisely, maybe 'vintage computers' or something like that) to a person who was looking for Omni information and put a link to your project.  But probably it is simply someone who stumbled upon your project, and downloaded your rom images and added it to mame themselves.
