I'm out from under my rock!

Gave up on the PLCC adapter and I'm wiring up direct to the edge connector while "un-swapping" the address lines to the Ostrich in order to do better real-time editing. Added the 2x20 header tonight and need to finish up a new 32 pin adapter cable.

The other big thing is that the conformal coating really makes it hard to re-use the factory installed chips-it's almost impossible to remove it all and it does not let the socket make good contact-even if you polish the pins, the goo left between the pins tends to hold the contacts apart. YES that...

You are aware that when you solder in the PLCC32 sockets, you *HAVE* to put the little plastic "floor" back in them, right? Otherwise they do not work. The P66V6 PCMs use the same flash chips and sockets, but with no bank switching. I've got a pile of bricked ones and they are slowly bein...

Does anyone have the disassembly for this? I can help but not without that. I do a lot with 2 and 3 bar on 68HC11 and probably have the code you need

"Fixed issue with browsing for bins where you're prompted to create a file when browsing to a subdirectory"

This is great!

Well, the new adapter tests out fine.

It either needs a socket booster or i'm having issues with the plcc socket on my board. I'll post back up when I figure it out.

I had problems with ostrich on VT 128k bin files, needed G6 adapter from Moates to work or I had to stack the bin 4 times to make it 512k and then it would work. I imagine this is to with bank swapping used in VT. Try stacking the bin and see how you go, may be worth a try. Thanks! I did that alrea...

That's what a 29f040 is. Same memory array as the Ostrich

I'm writing 60000->7FFFF and it's matching my bin when I read out the file. Still won't boot with the Ostrich or a 29F040 plugged in. I did verify the pin order of the adapter but i'll have to see if there is a disconnect somewhere of a pin not making contact for some reason.

I just end justified a bin onto a 29F040 and no luck either. I'll double check all the solder joints on this adapter tomorrow.
