Further research: Does anyone have a later manual than "29A Universal Programmer 990-0029 Rev E May 1982"? Al has that version on Spies, but I was hoping a later version might cover other items, such as the Unipak 2B memory expansion module, and the 128K expansion, plus better troubleshooting for the serial port.
Currently I have just tried the CODE 10 with PromLin 3.10 in CODE 10, and it seems to store in raw binary! BUT when I try to upload the same file back to the 29B I get "Error #46 I/O Timeout", which looks suspiciously like the error I get running PromLink 6.10 (I/O error). Soooo why would I be able to communicate to the computer and be able to SAVE a file, but trying to send the SAME file back, get a timeout error? Is it Miller Time already???

This is probably the cause of my problems. It's been years since
I used the older (pre-version 6) Promlink and don't have access
to it anymore. Did someone have it available on thier website?
The problem with the RAW BINARY code 16 is that my 29B will not
recognize it. The firmware in mine is version 6, the EPROMs are
numbered 315-14-49 thru 315-14-55. I haven't tried Alex's
version 5 EPROMs yet. I'm hoping that it doesn't require a PAL
change to swap versions, DATA I/O use to be famous for this.

Mike, what the version number of your firmware in the 29B?
