BASIC Program for Build An Intelligent Serial EPROM Programmer (8052-AH BASIC)

[Mahechiuk]

Hi everyone,

I remembered that it was called "Build An Intelligent Serial EPROM Programmer" from BYTE magazine and I lost her a long time ago, and finally a short time ago I found a downloadable PDF file on the Internet.

I couldn't find a program for "Build An Intelligent Serial EPROM Programmer".

How do I get a BASIC program download for 8052-AH BASIC?

Could someone give me a chance to help?

Thanks.

You're talking about a VERY old article, Byte's section "Circuit Cellar", october 1986. You can download the complete issue from https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1986-10 , but not the software. I used that programmer until the early 90's and then donated it to my university. I did erased this file decades ago, and I'm not sure that the software in teh oPossum link was the original, but you can ask to Steve Ciarcia , author of the article and founder of the Circuit Cellar magazine after Byte cancel the column.

But please, let me be a bit curious, why you need to build that programmer in 2021?

Hi Tarloth

Yes, your question is a very good one because I can't buy one of the expensive programmers with a USB port for my little money wallet ☹️

I have an old EPROM programmer with an ISA connector for PC because they would not make more PCs with ISA connectors that have been obsolete. Well, I have a modern PC with USB ports and a USB to RS232 interface board.

A while ago, I found and downloaded the same BYTE article (PDF).

We are right; I know this is this old article, y many years ago I finished building a complete module with an 8052-AH BASIC microcontroller and its other components.

I am going to build a new I/O expansion for EPROM programmer.

This programmer cannot run without this program, how does a BASIC program to record EPROM memories?

I doubt that Steve Ciarcia would recognize this article and I do not know his email.

How am I going to contact oPossum?

Hi

I already got "CCSP Info and CODE.ZIP".

I have a question about SEPROM16.HEX.

I need to know if SEPROM16.HEX is for 8052-AH BASIC microcontroller and burn an EPROM 27128 (16K).

Thank for you help

OK, I send a PM (Te envié un mensaje personal)

[Mahechiuk]

Did you read a message today? I sent you twice without knowing.

[Tarloth]

Sorry Mahechiuk, I was offline for two days, I just answer your PM

I need to know if SEPROM16.HEX is for 8052-AH BASIC microcontroller and burn an EPROM 27128 (16K).

Yes. It is version 1.6. I have it running on a minimal 8052 system. A listing of the BASIC program is attached.

Hello Tarloth, Matthieu Benoit and oPossum

Without more, I want to thank much to the three for receiving your best responses.

They are good and intelligent persons.
