Another way to program jagaur carts.

Hi all, not here with full specs but I think if we get a few bright minds in involved here we can make this way cheaper.

 

I found 2 new approaches.

 

1) Using the TL866.

First thing I found pretty quickly was that the eeprom burners were pricey. So looking for alternatives I found this

https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/SMD_Adapter_for_TL866_Minipro_EPROM_Programmer_27C322_27C160_27C800_27C400_8c188447.html

or

https://www.tindie.com/products/easypcb/27c322-27c160-27c800-27c400-tl866-minipro-adapter/

This lets you use the cheaper 40 pin burner.

 

 This thread maybe helpful if there are issue.

2) using a arduino.

I'd be shocked if no on thought about this, this was an idea that I was kicking around and just so happens someone did it.

He didn't make the schematic very clear but looks like its a simple job.

I do have a few uno boards around but will need to get some eeproms.

 

 

 

I wanted to add this, because I can not really tell what it is. Has a 8 pin interface for programming. maybe helpful maybe not

Considering the price of a TL866 and the inconvenience of wiring up and using the Arduino-based programmer, it'd say the second option only makes sense if you're short on cash, have plenty of free time and need to program no more than a few EPROMs.

A quick googling revealed there are services which program EPROMs for you.

Oh now that is cool.  What links did you find?

It was a German company. Googled for "programming service EPROM"
