Hi Mario, I'd rather do grounds, power connections, etc...programming is a pain and can be a huge topic depending on the equipment the person chooses to use and what they are trying to read/verify/program. There is lots of info online too. I'll think about it, but you can see I'm not a great technical writer - have trouble with layout and sometimes ramble a bit...never had any training in the field you see. I also have little 'free' time. For the most part you guys are welcome to strip mine flippers.com for info, I do expect reasonable visible credit on any pages where my info/pictures are used (links to relevant page preferred). That allows me to edit the page (I try to never change page names!) in my fashion. You see I am used to updating my web site, and have some ideas I want to add over the next year on tech support - and have little time to re-write articles for other sites.

John,
Can I get you to submit a write up on programming fundamentals for our new repair guide?
Thanks,

Anyone have a copy of the "wallchrt.exe" program from around 1997? Earlier versions apprecaited too. The one claiming to be on the data-io ftp server times out...

Any copies (PDF) of the Data I/O wallcharts (besides 1986) appreciated as well.
Thanks,

A copy arrived in today's email (thanks Rodger!). I'll add it to the site eventually, but as I am opening up a couple of mirrors shortly (flippers is taking up too much space!) I'll wait until then.
Does anyone have the old paper wall charts (schematics, manuals...) from Data IO that covered the programming pak - this is the pak with two rows of 28 pins (and two card inside - one Analog and the other Data) and were specific to the various manufacturers (Signetics, TI, Motorola, etc.). this plugs into the 19, 29 and 29B and helps with some very obscure (read ancient) PROM/ROMs used in early video game - I have a module for the 82S113 and am trying to make one to read the MCM6832 Masked ROM. Wirewrapped up an adapter for reading as a TMS2716, but the 29B complains that the CS line doesn't turn off the data lines (tied either high or low)...
