I have bought some 27c322 blank roms, how do i go about copying an existing rom chip, there seems to be lots of guides to burning the roms from a KS file....but can you not just copy the original rom chip?

TheCorfiot · 25 February 2009, 22:11

@Doog

You sure can mate, just read the ROM & save to file, Then replace with Eprom & Burn the file previously saved...

No byte swap or anything like it then Bas?

Zetr0 · 26 February 2009, 01:12

@Doogie

you wont need to if you copy directly from the ROM my friend, I believe is the case.

I was going to ask if i need to swap the bytes on a GVP SCSI rom file, one of the later bables

Jope · 26 February 2009, 07:36

Naturally no byte swap needed if you make a copy of a ROM chip.

8-bit wide ROMs won't need a byte swap.

Thanks guys, i'm totaly new to world of burning my own chips, i've been searching the net for fun stuff to do with burning pics and proms to help me learn but have had no joy.

Gonna try this later on today

Would you like me to email you the GVP 4.15 file ready to burn, If I remember I just needed to unarchive it & burnt it straight to a 27128 Eprom.

oooh yes please mate, i also want to upgrade my roms on my a2630 to the latest version.

I have a new toy and i'm not afraid to use it

TheCorfiot · 26 February 2009, 11:19

@Doog

You already have it my friend, to save any error put the 27128 programmed chip I sent you last year into your programmer "Read it" & then save it to file. you can prog as many as you like then, no byte swaps or anything req, just read & write.

I advise programming the updates on spare Eproms mind, dont erase & overwrite your originals until the new ones have been verified, tested & you are SURE !!! you have been warned.

TC

File also available from here, just unarchive it & Burn!!!!!

DoogUK · 26 February 2009, 11:25

Any idea where i can find the latest roms for my A2630 and A2091 cards?

TheCorfiot · 26 February 2009, 11:28

Ive got the ROM's for the A2091 (V7) & A2620 but not the A2630, Zetty may have the A2630..

Iv'e uploaded A2091 to the Zone for you

TC

update...........
Actually Doog follow the link below & see if you agree with me....

http://www.softhut.com/cgi-bin/test/...&cart_id=52674

The replacement ROM part numbers for A2620/2630 are the same ?????

PCB Location
ROM Part No.-- A2620--- A2630
390282-07 ----- U4 ----- U102
390283-07 ----- U5 ----- U103

Therefore uploading the A2620 ROM images to the zone for you too..

DoogUK · 26 February 2009, 11:47

I was under the impression both cards took the same roms anyway Bas...thast pretty much confirms it.

Thanks again mate.
