Subject: mystery chip
I found a mystery chip in a pile of stuff.
Apparently, it was an AWARD
BIOS in a former life. I can read it in my EPROM programmer and it is
read compatible with a 27C512 (64Kx8 EPROM). The contents are consistent
with an AWARD BIOS for a PC of some sort.
Well, if it's an EPROM (OTP or flash), it should have a "silicon
signature"/"intelligent identifier" readable by your EPROM
programmer. Does your programmer have an auto-identify capability?
Cheers,
