Hi, someone knows a good circuit of an eprom burner that poermits to "cook"
27C256 types?
Or if you know some site with the project, please tell me.

Bye and thanks.

www.arlabs.com has a nice unit. 289 bucks and it covers a good variety of
chips.
I use it primarily for 27C256 eproms and 29010 flash chips.
Could use a Windows front end and its menu system seems confusing sometimes,
but works and makes sense to an engineer person like myself.

In case you can't raise the website
its Andromeda Research and the phone number is 513-831-9708 in the USA

Try Crownhill http://www.crownhill.co.uk/catalog.htm

They have programmers (as well as other stuff like PICs)

Ehm...
...it's better if there's the possibility of self-making it!

Hey, you, commercial Moron!! He asked for a circuit. Not SPAM!!

Just as an aside, I'm designing a PIC16F84-based EPROM/EEPROM/FLASH
programmer based on the "Simple Amiga Parallel EPROM Programmer" (SAPEP) and
the EPROMr2 from www.zws.com. The design will be completely opensourced
under the GPL. I'll put it up on my website when it's done. Just to whet
your appetite, here are the specs:
CPU: Arizona Microchip PIC16F84 running at 10MHz
RAM buffer: 16 bytes
Input formats: Raw binary, Intel Hex (if someone wants to send me some Turbo
Pascal or C code for decoding Motorola S-Record files, I'll add that too).
Devices: All the devices the EPROMr2 supports, plus Flash equivalents
Algorithms: ST Presto and Presto 2, AMD Flashrite, QuickPulse, Intel FLASH
(should also work on Catalyst flash chips too), standard.
Extra features: Automatic chip identification, RS232 interface.

Nice, huh? And how much will it cost to build one? About 50 USD.

Anyone interested?
The programming algorithms are going to be implemented on the CPU - not the
PC. Adding new algorithms will require a firmware update (yes, they'll be
free too).

BTW RSW, nice FTP site.

Don't miss my website, it will all be web someday!! Moving slowly.

Thanks, Phil. Glad you're getting it all going!

Definitely nice.

Here's a file with S-record decoding functions:
<http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/rcx/firmdl.c>

It's actually a firmware downloader for LEGO Mindstorms, but it takes
input files in .srec format, so it shouldn't be hard to pull out the
S-Record code.

Also, you could try adding support for programming a BASIC Stamp
(www.parallaxinc.com) - preferably, you could plug the Stamp chip into
the programmer, OR just connect the RS232 cable from the computer
straight into the Stamp (for those of us with the OEM versions).
