Hmm not having any luck at all here..??
Not sure why.
Is it the chip type ..is it the family module..is it the software/algorythm..or perhaps the programmer itself ?
I loaded up a VIC20 kernal into the buffer (running EMP-10 in a DOS window on win98se)
inserted the family module ..
confusing isnt the word as the software is claiming 1A not 1B ..
Tried both ..1A and 1B ..
with 1B software complains the module is missing or incorrect.
in with 1A it is accepted but programming never takes place ?
Ok I thought ..
establish the programmer is working by inserting a 27C64 chip
..which IS 1A ..
This programmed no trouble and correctly verified.
looks like despite the blurb the 68764 isn't supported ?
at least not by my programmer and the software is not accurate (1A and 1B are reversed)
perhaps it is because the device is a 68764C and not a 68764 ?
..or just maybe the software has bugs ?
I'm wondering how compatible the EMP20 software is ?
perhaps that has the bugs fixed ? ..and if compatible perhaps Sirius could pass on a copy to me ?
