This is the very rare recovery chip that you need when your 2000xl just won’t boot. It is an original AKAI service part that reprogram the internal OS flash on the uncommon but unfortunate event the 2000xl system gets scrambled. Additionally if the flash ROM completely dies, you CAN boot the 2000xl directly from this EPROM.
