w1k Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 hello, today i flash u1mb via SIO2PC and connections lost.. now i have death atari with red screen.. its possible flash with avr cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ah that sounds bad. But you can always take out the programmable chip and flash it in a eprom burner I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 That depends on the eprom programmer, I know that genius g540 does not work for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNameOfTheGame Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Maybe someone here can flash it for you then. I would do it but I over in the usa so it would take a long time to get here and back. I used the g840 to burn the chip. I had to because I have the "bad" chip with the 4k sectors and couldn't use the flasher atr. Edited May 20, 2013 by TheNameOfTheGame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I can flash PLCCs in UK for return postage, if anyone gets stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+tf_hh Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If you have any flash cart with PLCC sockets, you use them also in the most ways. SiC cart with adapter (DIP to PLCC) works fine. But you also can use an AtariMax 8 MBit Flashcart, replace one of the both PLCC flash-roms with your from the U1MB, take the ready-to-flash U1MB 512 KB files found here in this forum, double them (add the file twice to get 1 exact 1 MByte (1.048.576 bytes) file) and flash it in the AtariMax 8 MBit flashcart. After flashing rebuild the U1MB flash-chip back in the U1MB and be lucky. For this you must use the newest AtariMax Studio Software, the old 1.xx versions are only able to flash AMD and SST 29F040 types, the newer loader can much more. Use function "Convert BIN to ATR Programming Image". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1k Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 hmm, nice and interesting idea.. but ATARIMAX HW and SW cost like little old car....... and.. you know open source is future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 hmm, nice and interesting idea.. but ATARIMAX HW and SW cost like little old car....... Maybe there are Skodas for that little money, but no real cars and.. you knowopen source is future And everything for free is the end. Open Source is great, but it doesn´t mean "for free". How much is shipping from Slovakia to Germany? A little old car too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 hmm, nice and interesting idea.. but ATARIMAX HW and SW cost like little old car....... and.. you know open source is future I agree that Atarimax products are not cheap, but they are very high, fabulous quality. I like to pay that for a good product, with a decent shell. I don't understand what the 'open source' comment means in this topic. What in the world did you flash btw. to your U1MB that this happened? If I was you, I would temp. replace the u1mb by a working OS rom and watch whether your atari works again or not. Btw. I have read a lot of your topics, but I got the feeling that the 'evil eye' is following you you do not have the most luck in the world with all your atari issues I have went back to 100% original atari's. That gives really a lot of quietness in the atari hobby. And it is not less fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread about the issue and if he never read that thread then it not his fault that he didn't know about. I almost did the same thing, but luckily I had read the thread so I used an eprom burner to flash the chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the bad one or not? The bad one is ST39SF040. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari8warez Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 uh, thats no good :/ If you don't own a programmer already I would recommend this. It is not too expensive and works great, also includes the adapter you will need to program a PLCC and the chip extractor. I have recovered my U1MB using this programmer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you confirm from own experience that it works with Windows 7 (and additionally, really burns ATMegaXX) ? Then this will be my choice.

+tf_hh Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 hmm, nice and interesting idea.. but ATARIMAX HW and SW cost like little old car.......and.. you know open source is future I didn´t see the relationship between giving a hint with items most modern atarians have at home and "open source" A lot of ways are possible to reflash a standard plcc chip, sure you can find all documents and datasheets and build your own simple flasher for free... but this is (for me) to much work, so I use tools And.. show me a place in europe where I can get a "little old car" for approx 25 euros... I will take a bunch for bad times coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari8warez Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Could you please sent a screenshot from the burning utility? Thanks. Just follow the links in the ebay listing to see a video review of the device, it's comprehensive and gives you a lot of info including screenshots Edited May 21, 2013 by atari8warez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then this will be my choice. I am using it with Win 7 64 bit..The ebay listing contains a list of supported chips. Here's a quote from the ebay listing: "AVR microcontroller, including ATMEGA series, ATtiny series, AT90XXX series microcontroller AVR microcontroller can complete a one-to-one soft encryption by RC calibrating bytes. It can support high-speed parallel programming and at the same time all AVR ATMEGAxxx chips can be supported SPI series download programming by using ICSP interface."
