[Coco] Primer on burning EPROMS?

[Zippster]

Hi Christopher,

I have had the same programmer for some time.  It will program just about any EPROM, 
PROM, EEPROM and FLASH memory you care to throw at it.  Anything in a dip package
it’s already set up to handle with it’s ZIF socket, for PLCC and a number of SMD packages
there are simple adapters available on eBay.

It will also handle programming quite a few micro controllers, and can test a number of
standard 74xxx series logic packages.

All programming and testing is done with the MiniPro software package that should have
come with the unit (latest version is always available on the manufacturer website).

You select the IC you want to program, load the buffer with whatever binary code you want on
the chip, and program.  You can also read chips into the buffer and save as a bin file, verify, etc.

Anything specific you’d like to program or questions shoot me an email if you like,
I’d be happy to walk you through it.

You bought a great programmer… :)

- Ed

Is there a primer anywhere on what else I'll need hardware-wise (e.g., a good source for compatible EPROMs, suitable cartridge interface, etc.), and information on how to actually burn and test?
