Dead eprom?
Yea, I’m probably one of the few still using eproms here… mostly because I’m cheap and have pile of old computer parts that I can get them off of…
I have a stack of 27C512’s (they’re used for bios chips on most older computer hardware) and one has “stopped working,” and am wondering if it’s something that I’m doing or it’s just dead… It reads OK, it erased fine, but when I put it in the burner and try to write to it, it doesn’t…. the write LED doesn’t even flash when I try like it does for the rest of the chips.

If other C512s write correctly, I'd just conclude that this particular chip is bad and move on. You have a stack of them anyway.
