A rather short one...
So as a kid I had this little toy laptop called the Thomas the Tank Engine Learn & Explore laptop by VTech. I would like it preserved and emulated in MESS.
It looks like this.

I did find a listing for it on Amazon.

Foone got a VTech Thomas & Friends: Learn & Explore Laptop on the workbench back in August.

Unfortunately the MCU has internal ROM and appears to be a raw die blobbed over with epoxy:

It will require decapsulation and more to dump it out, and the CPU core will need to be identified.

I added it to here:

However, I really don't feel as though it's the right place. It may need its own separate list similar to the "information staging/preparing" we have going over here: https://mamedev.emulab.it/undumped/index.php?title=User:Incog (https://mamedev.emulab.it/undumped/index.php?title=User:Incog)
