I picked up an older pal/eprom programmed from Advin systems at
Weirdstuff warehouse when I was in Sunnyvale recently, $5. I knew I was
talking a risk, but for $5, who cares? This unit is labeled "SAILOR-PAL".
Anyway, Advin is still around, and their web site has manuals and
software for their programmers -- anything since 1996 or so. This unit
is from 1986.
Does anybody on this list happen to have documents or software for this
programmer and is willing to share? I contacted Advin and their terse
reply was: this system is no longer supported. Searching on google
turned up a few references to this programmer but nothing useful.
My main interest is as an EPROM reader, so even if it isn't perfectly
calibrated, it should be fine for the purpose. If I can't come up with
the software, I guess I'll do what I have done before: used a BASIC
Stamp to drive the address pins and read the data pins. The programmer
would just be more convenient is all.
Thanks.
