Hi! Can anyone point me to instructions on jumpers, etc for a 27C800 in the GQ 4x4 programmer?
Recent purchase, I set it up and tried to read a 27C800 then verify. (make sure everthing is setup) I get verification errors - latest firmware downloaded from the web, followed instructions - adapter is properly seated, as is CHIP in adapter
I set the speed to slowest and still have verification errors (i.e. read contents of chip, then verify) seems like this should be 100% all of the time. thankx
BTW I also tried pin compatible MASK ROM chips and encounter the same random verification errors. (so I don't think this is so called "bit rot") [Update] changed Device from M27C800 to M27C800#2. After that I was able to perform 10 read then verify cycles with no errors. After looking at Device.txt, the difference between these two profiles is VCC which is 6.2V for MC27C800#2 vs VCC of 5.0 for MC27C800. Putting a 'scope on VSS and VCC revealed 1/During a full verify power is cycled on/off to chip. Unexpected, as I would have expected supply voltage to be constant. (Sidebar) 2/ For Device MC27C800#2. (6.2V) measured voltage on scope was peak of 5.76V 3/ For Device MC27C800 (5V) measured voltage varied from 4.72 to 4.40V peaks.
Seems like the supply voltage is low/marginal Is this expected behaviour?
