You guys should do a Tetris challenge with your boxes and calcs ;-)

Hello Kim,
I only have ONE programmer, but there are other forum users that also have ONE programmer and that are willing to program the EPROM of the other forum users.
I can program your EPROM's and Dave Frederickson has also offered himself in the past to do it (see here).
If you decide to send your EPROM's for programming, I suggest that you download Christoph Gießelink HP-71B Emulator for Windows (emu71) then configure and test your EPROM images in it before sending your modules.
Best regards,
Sylvain

Well thank goodness I've found someone with more 71Bs than I have! While I am certainly still a Calcoholic, it's good to know someone out there has it worse than I do. I was starting to think that owning 14 71Bs was totally out of control...

Ahum! Sorry guys to tell you this, but ... you both are. Smile ... and yes, I know, I know, its coming from the most out-of-control person on the HP-41C side. LOL

Sylvain,

Thanks a lot for the offer and the suggestion with EMU71 - this is fantastic!

I will get to this as soon as possible - hopefully we will have a rainy weekend soon Smile.

RE: Hello. My name's Dave, and I'm a Calcoholic.
I have decided that today it is raining and I have now rummaged my boxes and it turns out I have 3*64k EPROMS Smile

I acquired a UV Eraser from China - arrived last night, but would like to be sure that it works as expected - rather safe than sorry... before wasting anyone's time with programming.

Is there an easy way to validate that a ROM is "100% Empty" I recall that there was a set of functions on the NEW Ex Factory EPROMS which I don't know much about, maybe one of them can screen whether the ROM is properly deleted.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Have a good Sunday

/Kim

Read it back and every bit should be a '1' if it is erased correctly.

There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I know I am slowly sliding into another thread here... I'll stop now

That's what i was afraid off, PEEK as it is in the 71B OS, won't PEEK as the EPROM is seen as a protected ROM. [ERR:File Protect]

SYSEDIT from the JPC E2 was my friend.
