I just picked up a 29B with a ton of extra modules. The 29B shows v01 so I would like to upgrade the firmware as far as possible. It looks like the FTP site has v6 available but i am not sure of the requirements. I have ROMs only at u33-u37 and v6 has u32-u38 so there are additional ROMs used and I also assume that u49 may need to be replaced as well. I cant really find any good materials on the upgrade requirements so I thought i would ask here in case anyone has gone through the same process. Are there any additional changes necessary? Jumpers, etc? Also, does the RAM board have any limitations in regard to the firmware? Apparently I have the 64K board so it is not upgradeable - does this matter for the firmware level? Does anyone have one they are parting out that may have the 256K board they would like to part with?

Hi Greg, Actually there is a great support group on Yahoo for the Data I/O programmers - I joined it years ago and it is moderated by Alferd Marin who bought up all of I/Os obsolete gear. Alfred is a great help, often giving advice on setups etc. for the various older I/O gear. Go to Yahoo.com and look for the DATA_IO_EPROM group - easy to join! Tons of archived info on upgrading the 29 series machines including adding more memory and getting them to the last revision level. Well worth the visit! Data I/O has a good web site of archived data: http://www.dataio.com/Support/TechnicalLibrary And of course TTL has the Data I/O library too. FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment (under Data IO of course!)
