EEProm help

Hey all. I finally got all my prom burning equiptment from moates.net. After sorting out the bugs for a week (damn laptop). I've finally run into a problem where I don't know what to do.
I loaded a stock bin into the tunerpro. Flashed the prom. Then put it into the adapter. The car then runs into limphome mode. Did I have the wrong bin? I got it from the bin search. Or should I just desolder my stock one and read it?
I have a 1991 z28, 5.7and ECM 1227730.
Any help would be great.

I've been playing around with my burner for a few days.
What type of chip are you buring 128K or 256K?

Did you make any changes to the bin and not "save" the bin before burning it?
That would cause a checksum error and do that.
And check to be sure the chip was inserted in the adapter the right way. If its a 256 chip in the adapter with extra pin holes, be sure to put the empty holes at the top where the notch should be. (chip at bottom, notch on top)

I have not edited the bin. I'm just trying to get a "stock" setting. The adapter is a 28 pin zif. I made sure to have the arrow pointing towards the handle.
I'm thinking either the chip broken. Or the bins are corrupt. I have four bins so far. Two from moates and two from the bin reference site.

Edit:

Oops, I see that you've got a 7730. That means 32k. Burn to 0 offset.

Next question: After you burn the data to the chip, does the verify return that the burn was successful?

It does verify successful when burned. But when I verify the chip with buffer its say: Failure: verification does not match.

Then it didn't successully verify (hence the word "failure" in the output).

Do you have a different chip that you can try?
