minipro error "out of address of the device" Intel Hex file load for 2764

[shankaranv]

Hi, I have recently brought TL866 programer with comes with minipro software. I am unable to open and load the buffer an Intel Hex file to program EPROM 2764 or 27128.
I am prompted with an error "out of address of the device" while trying to open a file with less than 200 bytes of code.
Has anyone encountered such an error? or is there some setting I am missing???
I have attached the hex file for reference.

Surprisingly when I select the eprom 27512 it gets loaded.

that hex file is BS, it has more than one datablock - it looks more like it's intended for a microcontroller.

mind if i ask where it came from?

I got the solution yesterday. I shifted the data segment (ie the RAM location at 4000h)to the end of the file and the miniprog loaded the code space but gave out of device memory error when it encountered the data space...but it is ok I can now program the eprom.
Just a background...
I am modifying an 1988 design based on z80 CPU to include a serial interface using 16c550. The original assembly programs were developed using X80 assemblers which can run only on win98 desktops. The hexfile is the linker output of the following program

that does not explain how you ened up with such a screwed hex file!
you should check your compiler or compile it to a binary file.
