I knew that much, at least. I was being silly including it. (:
That's the chip. The 48T02 is still fairly easy to
get. Of course check
the datecode....
Can anybody suggest a source? The only one I'm remotely familiar with is
Jameco, but they have such byzantine rules for ordering (and a glossy
catalogue.. somehow glossy pages in a components catalogue is sleazy) that
I'd rather not deal with them.
I'll check out Digi-key if I can find the catalogue and nobody jumps up
and says, "Eugh! Don't order from THEM.."
Well, that sounds like an EPROM/OTP EPROM. The Vpp
12.5v means that the
programming voltage is 12.5V, a common value for modern EPROMS.
That makes sense. Let's hope I didn't fry it when I dropped it on the
carpet. It's been raining here for months though so the air is definitely
damp enough that I don't think it was a problem.
ok
