I am looking at getting a programmer to mess with and hopefully get some experience with it.
I am not sure where to start and am guessing folks here probably have good opinions about what is needed.
1. Which Willem programmer is the best for programming? (USB or other connection)
2. Which adapters would I need to burn Mach130 chips, Kickstart Roms and smaller PLCC roms such as the frimware for the fastlane?
3. Where can I get blank Kickstart roms and the numbers needed for 4000, 3000, and 2000 computers.
4. Which software works best in Windoze?
Thanx in advance for any help.
I have one of the "enhanced" willem units with the PLCC sockets on the board, but found it to be unreliable with older IC's which had greater current requirements.
Suggest you have a look at the "top2049" USB programmer.
Will do your 16bit kickstart eproms, many others, and quite inexpensive at $119US+shipping.
Will do the same as many units costing $1K+.
Current device list it supports is here:
