Hi, All,
I'm going through a box of older ICs and ran across a few X2864s. I
know they are 64Kbit JEDEC EEPROMs, but what I don't know is if there
are any odd issues with them. I found a datasheet that's mostly in
Japanese - I do happen to read some Japanese, but I'm far from fluent.
I'm mostly curious about in-circuit programming. I know a lot of
newer hobby-type projects use different families of EEPROMs and that
some devices can only program certain ones. What I don't know is how
that relates to something as old as the X2864. I can probably program
these in a standalone device programmer and potentially have to build
a pin-swabber socket for a 2364 (or even 2332 for a PET), but I'd like
to know if I'm opening a can of worms before I begin.
Thanks for any warnings of pitfalls ahead.
