TECH: Data I/O 29B Gangpak

[Mark (UK)]

Hi all!

I'm looking for some info, preferably the user manual in .pdf form, for
the Data I/O Gangpak. I'm specifically looking for the codes to get it
to program 8 proms all the same, or 8 different proms from a combined
memory file in one batch - I'm pretty sure it can do 8 different roms at
once, because of some jotted down notes I got with the gangpak that
seemed to suggest the result would be 8 different roms, but the
instrucations on doing it were not clear.

I've already got the family/pinout list for it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yours, Mark.

I think you just plug in as many eproms as you want to burn at a time.
Give it a try with two blank Eproms....

no, its not that easy, this is why I sold my gangpak. you have to do it the
hard way. without promlink, but with codes....

Hiya!

Infact, doing identical roms is very easy, just use the code FF/FF and
it autodetects the ROM IDs for you (if they have signatures). It's doing
8 different roms from one file that I'm interested in.

Yours, Mark.
