« on: July 21, 2024, 07:34:27 am »
Hi

Is there anywhere in the UK that I could get a couple of vintage PROMs programmed ?

Thanks

Hi,

You should specify the PROM model to be programmed.

Most people here could program them, which PROMs are you looking to get programmed?

Well, I just thought that the many excellently astute and well considered folk here may be able to turn their hand at programming them. I may be more confident at their technical acumen than you happen to be :)

It's not a matter of acumen, it's a matter of having access to vintage device programmers that still work, or the more exotic and expensive modern programmers that still support obsolete PROMs.  Not so easy.

One of the reasons I hope to get my Micromaster working again, the support it has for some older devices may well come in handy.
