Re: Re : MMI Data book - 6351 PROM

Oh, boy, what a pain these 6351s are! The Unipak
can't handle MMI very well at all, gets a few
addresses in then quits. It does burn Signetics
and other PROMSs just fine. My adapter socket is
correct, and I've been talking with the expert on
Unipaks/Programming Paks - Al Marin - once of
Data I/O and bought out all their early stock and
is the sole support site left. He also tells me
the early MMI PROMs were difficult to program and
they often modified the card so it would get an
infinite amount of 33V pulses instead of the
three (MMI) recommended. You can't do that with
the Unipak though. Sigh! The Unipak 2B supposedly
handles 6352s which are simply rewired 6351's BUT
that is where I'm having the problem with lack of
more than a few addresses per burn cycle.

We've been chatting back and forth for the past
few days on these parts and finding a way to burn
them. So far I find I have a 6351 adapter for the
Programming Pak, but my PP is for the Signetic
PROMs, not MMI. Totally different voltages, pulse
widths etc.

So - I'm looking for a Programming Pak with
Analog and Digital cards labelled 1226-1 (MMI)
{mine is 1226-2L (Signetics)}. I have schematics
for the 1226-1 cards (MMI) if anyone wants a copy.

I now have all the info I need on the 6351
though, thanks! Burning is going to be a pain
though...
