Omega-TI Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 It worked - sort of. Because even though the Programmer has no problem reading and writing the AT49F040 through the adapter, when I insert it in a TI PCB I'm getting loads of read errors. The graphics in Alex Kidd is all garbled, for instance. Is that just because of the slightly longer connections? I'm not sure, I would hazard to guess no. Have you tried taking a little Emory cloth or 300 grit sand paper to the contacts of the chip and the pins on the adapter itself to remove any oxidation that may be inhibiting proper operation? I've had issues in the past with those cheap adapters until I cleaned things up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Here's a DIP variant for a flash chip. Note that the EEPROM variants are usually 28F, 29F or 49F series and not the 27F series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 If you really want to choke on prices, look up the 28F040 variant. . .and I'm glad I was able to help here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc.hull Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 So TI is evidently celebrating 50 years of analog component design. Below is the unfortunate Email they sent out as seen from my phone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Might as well. You can walk into Barnes and Noble now and buy record albums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 You can walk into Barnes and Noble now and by record albums. Really?!? I didn't know that. Amazing that. I don't think I could ever go back to LP's, 8 tracks or reel to reel. I did use a cassette a couple of months ago though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I was reading up on the renaissance of the LP a few weeks ago.

+Vorticon Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I occasionally cover the Mayo hospital in Red Wing, MN, and I found there a vintage vinyl store with an amazing collection at very reasonable prices. Every time I go there I buy a few. Last year I bought a nice Audio Technica turntable and I love it. At one time I had a huge collection of vinyl from the 70's and 80's, but the suitcase I had them in disappeared mysteriously while moving to another state. The airline never found it I installed a cassette deck in my man cave at home with a tube headphones amplifier and I'm using it with my recently recorded mix tapes. Hey, why not? We are still using a computer from 1979, aren't we? I tried to get a reel to reel player, but good working ones are very pricey. The store owner in Red Wing recently acquired one but he was keeping it for himself. It came with a reel of an interview of a drug smuggler in Florida by the police from the 80's. How that recording got out I'll never know... As for 8-track tapes, I never liked them. They were unreliable and could only hold a few songs.

TInaut Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 A vinyl or shellac on a laser turntable is possibly the best experience for preserving the record and presenting the sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 A vinyl or shellac on a laser turntable is possibly the best experience for preserving the record and presenting the sound. True, but at $15000 a unit, it's a little bit outside of my price range. Are you kidding me??? And it's not even direct drive... I'll stick with my nice analog direct drive turntable thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Today I decided to teach myself Latin. I've always felt that being in the medical field and not knowing at least the rudiments of Latin was a serious oversight in my education. Besides, Texasus Instrumentus has a nice ring to it...
