OK i have the pocket programmer but when i go to verify the device it always says device did not verify to buffer, i have selected the right eprom type and every thing else but it doesnt want to verify. Please help i need it alot.......Jeremiah

 

If it says that then hit "program device" again and again and again until its says it verified.

Some chips take more times than others to program. Some of my GM chips take 7 or 8, I also have an NEC chip that programs the first time.

but i just want to read the chip do i do the same?

 

NO. To read whats on the chip hit "Move Device" and then hit "save buffer". Then go and open the BIN (what was in the buffer you just saved) in WinBin or Tunercat or whatever editor you got.

I had the exact same problem with my pocket programmer...I sent it back and sure enough, it had a problem.

They have tested and shiped me another. I will have it in a few days I hope.

 

What chip are you burning? If its a 29C256 EEPROM, you may have to program it with a FF.bin file first. I use DOS fileprom and just about always have to program it with FF's first.

Now please don't be offended but you do have the the prom in correctly?

 

im not offended at all i have the chip in right an i wasn't doing if right got i now so thanx alot... Jeremiah
