The XGecu ones are cheap as chips - you can get a bundle with a lot of adapters for something like $25. Not sure which chip your board uses but if you post it here I will tell you if you need a specific adapter to flash it. Anyway if you get one you can then look for a MR-BIOS for your board

Just to round this off for #MARCHintosh, the EEPROM programmer arrived along with some chips to put in it, and writing the ROM worked! So if anyone happens to stumble across this information in future: if you want to replace an SE/30 video ROM, you can use an AT28C64 (I got 5 for < €5 on Aliexpress)

its scary how cheap EPROM programmers are now.. they used to be hundreds near thousands of pounds and now you can buy the XGecu T48 for about £50 !

Ah, yeah. If you see yourself doing more with [E][E][P]ROMs, getting an Xgecu programmer would be a good investment, though there are cheaper DIY options too.

I've never used one of these, and didn't have the context to understand the diagrams, so actually hooking up the XGecu was hard to figure out. I had my Dupont cables, my sop8 clip, and the adapter to plug the Dupont cables into the IC slots, but how to hook them up? In what orders do the cables go?

With that in place, I can finally get to the fun part: reading and writing the digimon with my xgecu t48.

Like, what cables go where? Which way do i orient the probe when connecting it to the pet? There are 40 slots on the xgecu, which ones do I put the Duponts connected the probe into....

Attempting to revive my PowerMac G3 B&W’s original motherboard by reflashing its bad BootRom with a good dump from the replacement board. Now I need the willpower of a thousand gods to not screw up getting it back on the board.

A while ago I posted about using Xgpro, the software for the Xgecu T48/T52/T76 programmer devices, on Windows for ARM. The driver is based on WinUSB so I made a driver package for it with a program called Zadig, but turns out all that's needed is a registry file: www.zdziarski.com/blog/?p=13666

Flash chip desoldered. There appears to be three security registers, and there is data in at least the first one. I need to check the second and third with my Glasgow, because it seems the XGecu T48 only reads one of them. That and also dump SFDP and unique ID, just in case it's used.

Two hours of troubleshooting later... I had two floating pins on code and two pins soldered in the wrong place 🫠. But I think it should work. Maybe by this weekend I'll get it done 😅. Or maybe I should buy the XGecu T48 and if arrives before I finish lol

@adriansdigitalbasement.com good to see the usb-crowbar mod on the xgecu is going strong!

I'd probably recommend the Xgecu T48 now. I have the TL866-II PLUS and it's good, but the T48 is a newer version of it that does more. I dont know about the GQ.

I've been using XGecu devices (TL866A, T48) for some time now - and while I choose to use the third party open source minipro CLI whenever possible, I have to admit that the quality of their Windows-program is far superior to that of Flashcat's.
Not what I expected. Far from it actually.

XGecu provides also the software for programming. The one I use is Xgpro. This software detects your T48 when you plug it into your computer's USB port. You need to select the right IC too, which in our case is PIC12F508

You also need to find yourself a programmer with a 150ml SOP8/16 socket adapter where the chip will fit. I can recommend XGecu Pro T48, but other programmers do work too

I picked up one of the XGecu Pro's last year after trying to fight with dubious drivers from my old programmers, again, and I have to say I quite like it. I haven't tested the 16-bit EPROMs yet, but it's supposed to handle them with just the USB power supply.

Got the BGA63 adapter I ordered for the XGecu T48 this morning. If there's ever been an adapter that needed to come with a pack-in user guide it's this one. It's a combined BGA48/BGA63 adapter and the "combined" part is that you have to transfer the whole thing from one bare circuit board to […]

So decision time. To create a new ROM do I:
1) Figure out some hacky code to turn my Arduino EEPROM reader into a write for 29Cxxx devices...
2) Get a PCB built from an open source design that has already figured out all the hard parts and provides Arduino code already.
3) Just grab a XGecu T48 […]
