Anybody else run into issues with compatibility with older eprom programmers?
I picked up an eeTools allmax+ and at this point believe my issues of inconsistent reading and programming hiccups are due to compatibility. I have tried 2 different PCs and one does better than the other. The better one will do a good hardware test and seems to read chips ok, but the programmed eproms don't match up when I read them and compare with romident. Both PCs run XP but getting poor results in XP, I ran it in DOS with a bootdisk. The bootdisk results were better for the PC that was able to read correctly.
I had another post where someone mentioned reducing clock speed on the ISA port for better operation, but this unit is a parallel port. Any body have advice about retarding my system to allow better operation of this device?
