ACML Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) I need to update my EPROM burner to the 21st century. Well, EPROMs aren't really 21st century-ish, but you know what I mean. I mainly want to burn 27C128 (16KBx8) 28 pin EPROMs. There are some really inexpensive ones on eBay and Amazon, but are they any good? Looking for personal recommendation of actual experience using them. Thanks! Edited June 24, 2017 by ACML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I have had nothing but good luck with my TL-866A.

+David_P Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Bah, humbug. Why go USB when you've got perfectly good joystick ports? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the cheaper CS version and turn it into the A version using tools found here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/246355-minipro-tl866-upgrade-instructions/?hl=+tl866 Can anyone verify that the TL866CS will program either of these chips? ATF20V8B-10PC Datasheet: h**p://www.atmel.com/Images/doc0407.pdf GAL20v8B-10LP Datasheet: h**p://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/243905/LATTICE/GAL20V8B-10LP.html I know the GAL20v8B is listed on their website as being supported but I'd like to know if anyone has consistently programmed this chip with this programmer without issue....

Wyluli Wolf Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I use the GQ 4x4 for eproms. It installed easily on my Windows 7 64-bit computer and utilizes USB. It programs very quickly and I've had no issues with it. My only complaint is lack of support for PLD chips and no answer from tech support on how to add it (most devices don't even have tech support so nothing lost there I guess). You do have the ability to add more devices via a text file provided you can read the datasheet for the chip. You can read about it HERE Supported device list is HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 http://www.autoelectric.cn/minipro/miniprosupportlist.txt I have done the generic gal20v8b, a couple times, the atmel ones are a touch funny about programming and does not show up on their list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I have not yet programmed any GALs with mine yet. All I could have done was refer you to the supported device list. Osgeld has beaten me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard Atmels can be picky. I've heard some stuff on the support list isn't actually supported so I wanted to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyluli Wolf Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 yea I used the lattice part on a couple 32k carts I made a few Christmases ago Good deal. All the auctions etc I see state Windows 32 bit but the website says it's compatible with 64 bit windows. Hope that's true as I ordered one....

Osgeld Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I have used it on both 32 bit 7 and 64 bit 7 (my old shop computer had home, my newer one has pro) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
