Re:Chip writing error

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!
