Per FANUC, if the control dies, no one has the software to burn a new set of PROMs for it.
Fanuc are hard to deal with as far as ladder is concerned, after all they don't write it, the OEM or retrofitter does.
The 0 is still a 'current' control, I am pretty sure you can still order it, so you may have to get a retrofitter or third party with the programming unit, with this you can copy, print and develop ladder.
