Chip writing error
 

Tried burning my first map, and as i tries to write to the ic it says

IC CONDITION: Programmed till 58(dec)/3a(hex)
Checksum:63ac

The ic data is not equivalent to the editor data

Re:Chip writing error
 

What EM system?

What burner?

What chip?

Are your settings correct for the chip?

Re:Chip writing error
 

Sorry, turboedit, batronix eeprom burner, v3.3, and at29c256, ran the hardware test and everything passes, any ideas?

Re:Chip writing error
 

any ideas guys? I'm stuck here, it's the only thing holding me back!

Re:Chip writing error
 

Bad eeprom? Try another one.

Re:Chip writing error
 

Nope, tried like 5

Re:Chip writing error
 

rebuild the rom?

Re:Chip writing error
 

I don't know what you mean?

If you mean the map, i don't think it's the map, i've tried the stock, stable, and my base map tuned an none of them work, it almost seems as though there isn't enough space on the ic??

Re:Chip writing error
 

you try to erace the IC first? i know they auto erace but you might need to do it on this one? you doing anything with ESD safety? are you daizy chaining the parallel port at all?

Re:Chip writing error
 

Yes, it's all done in an esd safe environment(i'm and electonics tech by trade), i tried to erase the ic, but it won't let me, it says there is no need, that it will auto erase..

The only thing i can see is that there is a choice, there is at28c256, or 29c256..My ic's are AT29c256 and i've chosen the 29c256 setup..This is really frustrating me, i was talking to a friend who suggested a 9v battery instead of the ac/adapter, and that didn't work either..

Re:Chip writing error
 

try it on another computer? you use and daizy chaining on the parallel port? and dongle? or it it connected streight to it?

Re:Chip writing error
 

also what computer? brand, etc..

Re:Chip writing error
 

600mhz comp, 512k ram, winxp, and it's connected directly to the parallel port.. Maybe i'll try it on another pc, hopefully that will work

Re:Chip writing error
 

who built the computer???? answer my questions fully and i might be able to help, i dont ask them just to waist my time.

Re:Chip writing error
 

Sorry dude, i bought it used like 2 years ago, i have never opened it up myself.. No dongle, no daisy chain, it's the one and only thing connected to the parallel port, it sees the chip..
After hitting start, it goes thru three status bar screens, then the error comes up as stated above..

Re:Chip writing error
 

and it's not a brand name comp, and i don't know any info about the mother board or anything...

Re:Chip writing error
 

Fill your buffer with all 0x00, and write that. If that works, then write the ROM to the chip.

Re:Chip writing error
 

tried that, it wrote it with no errors, but as soon as i put in a map it comes up with the same ----.. Does it have to be registered? It should work for up to 256 right?

Re:Chip writing error
 

I'm pretty sure it has to be registered.

Re:Chip writing error
 

anyone got a reg key?

I don't remeber mine coming with a cd, and if it did i lost it!
