[sci.electronics] Single-chip EPROM microcomputer programming adaptors

rjk@sequent.uucp (Robert Kelley) (12/03/90)

Ok, now I've got my GTEK 7228 EPROM programmer running, and I'm
able to program many common EPROMS.  I suppose I can also program
single-chip EPROM microcomputers like the 8748, 8749, 8751, etc.
if I can figure out how to make my EPROM programmer think it's
programming a regular EPROM.  Does anyone happen to know how to
build EPROM programming adaptors, or know of inexpensive commercial
sources of same?

Logic Devices (they used to advertise in Byte) makes them.

I once wired up one for the 8751; you could program only selected individual
devices and you could never read back what was programmed.  The unit from
Logical Devices I used later was MUCH more convenient.

The 8748 requires an extra pulse to latch some addresses, so
unless your burner has that algorithm, you're out of luck there.

The TMS7742 looks like a TMS2732A.  And I think one of the
cmos 8051 chip can do this.
