OK, I'm ready to burn a modified copy of the Altair Turnkey
Monitor
into a 2708 to use in my 8800b as a test program. Lo and behold, my
programmer won't do a 2708 -- it'll only go down to 2716. Naturally I
don't have any 2716s around and the VG ROM board accepts only the 2704
or 2708(without modification).
So I browsed around eBay and elsewhere to see if any other
programmers support the 2708 and it seems that none do. They all start
at the 2716.
What programmer can I look for that has the ability to program a
2708?
Thanks.
I believe an Intel MDS will program a 2708. And then you have the
privledge of using an i4040 processor to burn your EPROM since there's
one inside the EPROM programmer peripheral. I got the external
programmer with my MDS but haven't used it yet.
