I have a new top2005 programmer and I'm having problems reading the eproms.

I have pre-programmed tms27c020 chips but when I go to read them the programmer reads then as FF on the entire chip.

Is there something I'm missing? Or do I have a defective unit?

Update:
Turns out that my unit was bad, They quickly repaired the unit and sent it back.

Now I can read the tms27c020 chip fine. I'm having problems writing the data back on to another chip "AM27C020 1200C" I verify that the chip is blank, It starts to write then gives an error. I tried slower speeds aswell.

Your help would be appreciated.

Well my repaired Programmer read eproms fine but does not write. I have tried changing the speed and it doesn't fix it. I have tried other computers same problem.

Anything I have missed?

Check the USB current level. It should be at least at level 5 or above. By the way, where you send the programmer and repaired? You may need to contactv them again.

The current level is 6. I've also tested it on another computer with the same problem. I sent it back to the guy I bought it from on ebay.

Also I noticed that there is no setting for a HN27C4096.
Is this a software limitation or hardware?

The TOP2005 does not support 16 bit EPROMs, such as 27C1024,27C4096. It is hardware limitation.
