Hi Steen,

I see a potential source of problems to reprogram the EPROM directly on-board.

Since the EPROM power (Vcc) is not separated for the RAM & ASIC chips, chances are that some spurious Address/Data signals conflicts with those comming from the programmer. But that's just a guess.

The EPROM reading however has worked as expected for me.

I've even written a short program to extract the 4 .ROM files from the EPROM dump .BIN and compared ok with currently available ones.

Best wishes.

Diego.

[Edit] Correction: After checking the 27C256 datasheet it becomes evident that the EPROM cannot be programmed on-board since it has CE/ and OE/ tied together. Undecided

"Do not suppose, check it twice."
