Programming 68764s

Rumor has it that Chuck Guzis may have mentioned these words: Hrm, I picked up a "mongo" eraser on ePay a few years ago, it's a spectroline PR320t, it usually takes 30-45 minutes or so to erase them, IIRC. It'll do 25-30 in a batch... it's *big*. ;-) I have had a few duds (maybe 3-5% tops) but generally the ones that verify the erase work fine. My "low-end" Xeltek programmer (Superpro/L) programs & verifies them just fine - I've had no real problems at all (well, again, except for the duds) unless my homemade cradle adapter (lovingly crafted from 2 wire-wrap sockets to "rub" the contacts on the eprom - they're in HHC carriers) has a bad contact. The programmer's DOS software seems to set all the right parameters to "just work." As I've had precious few problems, I'm afraid beyond that I can't be a ton o'help... That said, I hope this does help at least a little. If you're not in a hurry, I could erase & verify some for you if you want - it'll be at least a few weeks before I'd have time to do that, and you'd have to (carefully) extricate the chips from the HHC carriers yourself. That said, once I had the time, I'd even be happy to program & verify them for you if you sent me the PROM files - my xeltek software recognizes straight binary, Intel hex & Moto S, IIRC.
