Much cheaper that a commercial UV eraser
Mine's an old Logical Devices unit that I've owned for more than 20
years and has never had any problems "cooking" UVEPROMs, so I don't
think it's the eraser. I wonder if it's the algorithm/parameter
setup on my programmer. So I'm trying to think up an alternate
strategy to see if the things are really erased.
I should be able to read/blank-check at least half of these things by
calling them 2532s, shouldn't I?
What I'm wondering is if this batch isn't a bunch of NOS rejects.
Thanks,
Chuck
I seem to recall a technique where one (rather gently I believe) bakes
EPROMS in an oven to restore proper behavior. Perhaps someone else recalls
the details, as unfortunately I don't. I also don't recall whether this was
a fix for erase failures or not.
Later,
Charlie Carothers
