Re:help me with moates burn1
 

im trying to, but its not ------- working, i Dl'd the Moates USB driver, and flash burn. The moates usb driver is supposed to show up under ports in the device manager, but it will not do it.

Re:help me with moates burn1

Ok mine installed easily. You download and unzip drivers. Then you hook up the burner to the USB. It will open new hardware wizard. It will ask to install driver and you want to do it manually. Then you point it to the file you unzipped the driver to. It should do the rest by itself. Make sure you are putting the chip in correctly into the burner. Bottom to the top with the ones on top empty. Top being cable end. Notch on chip goes up towards cable.

lets start from basics then. cuz it woulnt work. Either becuz im ------- dumb, or somethings wrong, im going with choice 1. 8)

ok. in the device list under ports it says.

Communications Port (COM1)
ECP Printer Port (LPT1)
Moates.net USB Device Driver (COM4)

All my files were saved to drive C: and then extracted to a folder that is in drive C: as well. Flash and burn 1.0 is also saved in drive C: (dont think any of that matters though)

what the hells going on?

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

When you open the flash burn and have the burner pluged in does it say...found autoprom usb version:05.02.A? make sure your chip matches the supported chips. if it says read only the you cant burn it.if you can click on load file to buffer. it should show the desktop.find what ever file you have to burn into the chip and double click it.then in the window at the bottom of flash burn it says file loaded:c\\windows\desktop\.........bin.then hit program chip.it should take it.if not there is something wrong with your file if you modified on of the stck maps from T.E.download the ng26 bin and burn it for practice.

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

ijust had the same problem with mine and you wont belive it but it was a real easy fix you knnow where the bar that says supported chips are in the top left? click on what you chip you are using pro at29c256 and look at hex code on the right and thats it cause before you can do anything to a chip you have to click and pick what chip you are using ;D hope that helps

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

Hey man. My relationship with my Burn1 is love/hate or more like love/highly annoying. I had/have THE EXACT SAME PROB you are having. Took me like two days to get the things to burn a chip. It still is very temperamental, but when it works, it is awesome. I think the most important thing I learned is SET THE COM PORT FOR MOATES BURNER TO COM2 OR MAYBE COM3. If I have it any higher, it will almost always give me that error message. Even if you have to disconnect your printer or wireless card or whatever, set the COM port to 2 if possible. Before you do anything though, I would recommend starting ALL over with you install. Uninstall everything, then start from the beginning. Follow the instructions on Moates web site for the install. Should work (most of the time ;)).
Let me know.

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

ok, i kno you had to select the chip ur using, im using the AT29C256, so i kno its supported.

I set it up for COM2 and still no go.

getting this when i load a .bin, and try to burn:

File Size in bytes (Integer/Hex): 32768/0x8000
Programming Device from buffer...
*********************************
ERROR: PROM I/O returned failure.

Redoing the install right now.

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

i think it has to be on com1. if you have hotsync it may be trying to take com1. i have to make sure that mine is plugged in before i start windows or hotsync will steal the com1.

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

also, one more thing: make sure you're putting the chip into the burner BEFORE you're pluggin the burner into the computer. this worked last weekend when we were tuning my buddies car. when you plug it in, you should either get no prompt, or one saying something like "unknown hardware detected" or something. if you get the unknown prompt, uninstall, reintstall, shutdown, and try again.

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

Nothing has worked, i gave Craig a call and we went threw everything possible and still had no luck. He's sending another out just to make sure it wasnt the computer and it's something in this burner. If the next one doesnt work, Batronix, here i come.

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

have you tried it on another computer yet?
a different chip if you have one?

Re:+STILL NO GO+ help me with moates burn1
 

Any updates? I have this same ------- problem. It really sucks when you don't have your own internet conection and you are using a friends laptop to do this ----. :'(

I contacted Craig and he said to send it back and asked me if I wanted a refund or a new unit or what, it's my call. I'd really like to get this fucker working. :-\
