Re: Bytek Fireman 8x

John,
  Thank you, this gives me all kinds of ideas. I will check this tomorrow with the logic probe. I am thinking if the programmer doesn't pull this pin up then maybe I could program the lower half of the eprom first and then manually pull A11 up and set my starting address to 800h and program the top half.
   
  I will check it out first and see what I have.
  Thanks,
  Cameron

        Yes, Cameron, the 2532 does go to FFFh, a 2716 fills to 7FFh.
  

  If you have a logic probe with a 'memory' you can use that on a read to see if the A11 toggles. You can use a voltmeter as well...Pin 12 is Gnd, I would stuff thin wires into the two socket opening and clip the voltmeter to them.
  

  If it toggles on a read (it will start Low, then go High at 800h) but not on write (write FFs that you just 'read') then you have more information.

  Rodger, Thanks for the input however, I believe the last address for the 2532 is FFFh. The 2532 is a 32k device arranged as 12bit address 8bit data or 4096x8=32k. I'm a little rusty at this but I also think that 7FFh = 2048 and 4096 = FFFh. With this said; I still think I have something wrong with my A11 signal or signal path. If you can think of something else, please let me know. Cameron

That's OK, the last address in a 2532 would be 07FF, so at 0800 you're
no longer inside the 2532.

You have the end of buffer set too high, otherwise it would have stopped
at 07FF.
