#minipro — Public Fediverse posts

Now.. what about these EPROMS on the FCU Extender boards? Peeking under the label we can see that these are M27C512 EPROMS and I have tools to read them.

There's also another chip labelled as FCU UT-15, but this turned out to be a PAL (TIBPAL20L8), which would require building custom hardware for dumping (though I already ordered some parts for it).

For now is skipped as the ROM in the CORE CPU board jumper "ON BRD ROM" jumper isn't set.

New video! I'm showing two (and a half) ways of getting the TL866 EPROM programmer to work in Linux.

My TL866-II+ won't read EPROMs anymore using #minipro on #macos! Can someone confirm this? TTL logic tests still work. Installed using brew.sh!

There were no picture of the AOpen AX65 #PentiumPro board on #TheRetroWeb, so I did my best with my #fp5 and it turned out OK.

I then proceeded to remove the BIOS chip and dump its content with the #minipro.

Now, when dealing with motherboards where the BIOS has a sticker with its version on it, I never know if I should update it in place and make the sticker lie, or replace the EEPROM with a freshly flashed one instead and store the original.

@Samdicide Taking a guess here... #Mac #MiniPRO :D

I have an issue writing a diagnostic ROM to a NMC27C256Q. The minipro software throws an error.

@t3kk nice setup! Enjoy your #mac #minipro #m2
