You can try to find 2816 device (EEPROM pin compatible with 2716), so there will be no need for erasure and writing is also faster... I've used them for development at the time... - while(1);

Why worry? I often find the spinoff projects to be more useful than the original aim. Necessity is the mother of invention ...

Me too. It's much more effective than taking the rejuvenation pills ;-) Cheers, Chris Chris Burrows Astrobe v3.2: ARM Oberon-07 Development System http://www.astrobe.com

I have a Dataman Softy S4 - yours for &#4294967295;??? - make an offer by email if you are interested. It supports 2716 and you can still download code and eprom signatures from their website. It programs and emulates and has the emulator lead. Michael Kellett www.mkesc.co.uk

Here you go, this should work nicely: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=CAT28C16ALI90-ND They're electrically erasable. As long as your programmer supports the part... There's lots of other sources as well. Use "28C16" in your query here: http://www.findchips.com/
All... thanks for all the info!

Jon... thanks for the tip on the 6800 development harware.

while(1) and JW... thanks for the idea about the 2816.

Might depend on where you are and if one that works for bigger EPROM's could be adapted in some way to give you what you need. I have a pair that I think do up to the 512k size (will have to check) that run from the parallel ports.

Hi Paul... thanks for the reply.  I'm in the US (Texas).  From what I
can tell most emulators that did 512 also did smaller eprom emulation
but sometimes they only emulated down to 2732s... but some do emulate
2716s... so kinda depends on the exact model.  Not a real expert on
2716s v. 2732s but there may be some fundamental difference (besides
size).

My recollection is that that was a nice period of time where most of the time most of the different sizes were voltage and pin compatible. But that might very well have been at or above the x32 size. The x16 might be different in some way. I'd have to go to a datasheet again, to know. Memory fails. Your point is wise to hold in mind, lacking specifics, while looking around. Jon

There was no difference between the 16 and 32 from a read point of view, just A11 was added. I think on the 2716 it was the programming voltage pin, but this may be wrong (I have not been designing eprom programmers which would program these for well over 20 years :-) ). But I am quite sure the 32 can "drop in" replace a 16 if the data are written in its upper half (Vpp for the 16 is held at 5V during read and this is where A11 is).

Okay. Always good to sweep away a little ignorance and/or recover some lost memory. ;) Thanks, Jon
