Dont think so..... You need to put it into a programmer. Or you could use CM software to download your bin through ALDL, never tried it but I've seen it in the meny of CM software....

You need to use something like a Pocket Programmer.
You'll do better starting with a known good stock .bin file.

You got stung, IMO, for $300 it ought to be perfect when for that much you can buy all the equipment and do all of them you want.
Sadly, folks sell a few chips, and then think their experts when they haven't more then 1-2 clues about what they're doing.
Not to mention the Romulator is meant for Developement work, meaning once your done for a while, you should burn a chip. And a while is hours, not days, or overnight, IMO. And I'd beat a call to Xtronics gets about the same answer.
