[Coco] The GIME Chip???

[tim franklinlabs.com]

   Answer to question one: You are correct. There are only two versions of
   the chip.

   Answer to question two: No, no one has disassembled the chip. At least
   willingly. The chip is a custom chip made by Tandy specifically for the
   CoCo. Although the community has a vast knowledge on it's inner
   workings.

   Answer to question three: The GIMI is not a programmable device. And
   EEPROM burner could not be used in any application of the GIMI. they
   are for completely different types of chips. There will soon be a
   replacement for the GIMI called the GIMI-X. But it is still under
   development.

   Hi Everyone,

   I have a quick question about the CoCo 3 GIME chip.

   First off, (as far as I know there were ONLY 2 versions of the GIME
   Chip that were made) is this correct???

   Second, has anyone ever disassembled these (2 versions of chips) to see
   what the differences are???

   Third, are these GIME Chips something that can be reproduced in another
   (BLANK) chip using an EEPROM Burner??? Or are these chips a
   One-Of-A-Kind and not available anymore???

   The reason I'm asking, is that I've been toying around with the idea to
   buy an EEPROM Burner for my own use (as well as others) and was
   wondering if I could use it to burn these chips as well as 2764's
   and/or 27128's...

   Anyway, thanks for the help...

   Joe...
