There used to be a guy here who made those, but he got flamed so much that he refused to sell any in the end :madashell:

I wanted one so bad ... I think he would take your 3.1 rom and ruin it and give you a 3.9 rom back ?

Yep, that was the plan.

why did he get flamed? if you own the roms and the os?

Some people objected to me doing it in the first place as they felt it violated the EULA of OS3.9. Others objected to me requiring them to send me a 3.1 ROM chip to be destroyed to prove they own it and to prevent them from having a (pirate) duplicate. In the end I got so fed up with people whingeing about it that I decided I couldn't be bothered to offer the burning service.

See for yourself:
My Kickstart 3.9 EPROM thread

That thread contains the instructions on how to do it, and on about page 2 or 3 the arguing starts :roll:

ah well so the search continues,

Actually, it's really not difficult to do this yourself. The instructions in the thread I linked to above are quite comprehensive, and although there are a number of steps, none of them are very complicated. I still have the Willem programmer I used to burn the chips. If you're interested in buying it from me, feel free to send me a PM. But make sure you're happy with the instructions first ;-)

Is it not a nightmare to get those programmers to work?

They are quite complicated, but the manual is very good. There are lots of jumpers, you have to use the correct chip adapter, and you have to tell the software what time of device, adapter and chip you are using. But this is all covered in the manuals.
