Oh, Happier Day!!!!

Rumor has it that Tony Duell may have mentioned these words: I've heard it works great when done correctly, but I hadn't had the time to do that on mine, and I never ran across a problem (yet), anyway... (All I used with my CoCo3 thus far was a stock floppy controller & a couple of game carts, but now that my other hardware project is getting closer to reality, it's probably best to upgrade at least one of my paks before I get address conflicts... Yea, but now that I *have* the programmer, a chip-swap is something that I might actually have time for... -- Note -- did you notice I said "have"??? I couldn't believe it - it cost me $15.28 US for shipping & insurance, requested the cheapest, slowest shipping available, and it shipped from Santa Clara, CA -- and arrived in Northern Michigan 24-hours later... (hell, UPS doesn't even guarantee next day air way up here...) I was literally cutting & pasting the shipping # to check the shipper routing (DHL Express) when my friend walked into the back room saying "Unless this is it..." - he was trying to pull a fast one on me - he new I was anxious for it - and lo & behold, that was it! :-) :-) I have yet to see how well it works, but if their attention to shipping & customer service (the invoice says I have 30 days to replace/trade up & a 90-day warranty - and it's a refurb unit) it can't be all bad for a $200 (shipped) programmer... I just pulled some EEPROMS from a few junk PeeCee motherboards I can test it on, and for some GALs -- Jameco, here I come... :-) Laterz, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger --- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig. If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
