Very nice! I worked on the firmware for the "Applied Biosystems ABI Prism 310 DNA Sequencer". I remembered it cost >$60K each when it was released ~1996, 1997 time frame.

It is good to see DNA sequencer tech progress faster than Semiconductor.

Do you have copies of that firmware or know where I could pick it up? I'd like to poke around, try some reverse engineering, etc.


Sorry, it was not open source. BTW, it is just standard embedded firmware that control 3 axis motors + pump, CCD camera, etc. Highly couple to that particular instrument' HW. I am not sure what you can learn from it even if it was open source.
