RobertISaar Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 I'd be surprised if just lifting the sticker for a few minutes actually did anything. Murphy's Law. the one time you do it not intending for it to be erased is the one time it will start flipping bits. Quote
Drummer Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 So getting the most current prom version would require me unsoldering the current prom and soldering in an updated one? Quote
RobertISaar Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 that is how i would do it..... i would actually pull the existing one, read off the BIN, solder down a dual-wipe socket in place of the PROM, then either erase/program the existing unit(if you had the equipment to do so) or get a compatible EEPROM and load whatever BIN onto it.

Drummer Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 getting an already programmed prom would be easiest. My cousin has a Burn2 Chip programmer by Moates so I could possibly make it a socket setup but I have no clue what chips would be compatible with the board and the burner. What kind of a program would I use? http://www.moates.net/burn2-chip-programmer-p-197.html?cPath=64 Quote
RobertISaar Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 burn2 will work just fine, it's what i used to both pull and program the two i have sitting here. the 27SF512 that moates sells work, you just need to be smart about how the data is put back on, can either stack it all the way through the address range(64KB) or make sure it is sitting in the right place(8KB BINs, so it needs to be in the E000-FFFF portion of the PROM), either way works.

RobertISaar Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 IF you can get the PROM off intact(it isn't always easy, all of the boards i've touched are pretty soft/grippy), please pull the BIN, i'm trying to make an archive of them. Quote
Drummer Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Posted August 20, 2014 A little update:... I was able to pull the current chip off the board with a little help and read the bin file. Saar how exactly do I send it to you? Quote
RobertISaar Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 ....you didn't read it like that, did you? i seem to remember needing the PROM to be as far down(right in that picture) as possible for the BURN2 to read it correctly. email would work great, just @yahoo.com to my username. Quote
