Occasionally I get emails with cryptic requests, most often from folks from non-English speaking countries. Some are SPAM, some not. This is one of the most cryptic that I have ever seen. Do you think I should reply and ask for more information?

MW,
Sounds to me like this person is looking for an A1-A4 / 6301-J set of PROMs.

If not, maybe ask them to use Google Translate from their native language?
Yes, you should reply. That is relatively easy to understand,

I would guess that they are asking for the binary files to burn a set of Apple-1 monitor PROMS.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think Lionel is right. Anyway, I sent the person an email and he indicates that he solved his issue, without further explanation.
This reads like a word substitution of French to English. It’s French grammar with English words.
