I just got a KG109 too. The guy I bought it off (in a round-about way) programmed the EEPROM for me. I had to do the hard labour programming all 99 channels into it with the DOS software. If you can find someone who can do the EEPROM, I can help with the software.

I may be able to help there. What sort of EPROM is it? (27C64 etc)
