Copying an EPROM?

[Chris Wilson]

I have just bought 3 high end 1 GB data loggers for motorsport usage. One has a current EPROM in it that allows GPS track mapping, the other two do not. Given I am an idiot with stuff like this, does this sound feasible?

 

Open the case and see if the EPROM is socketed. If it is, see what number is on it, if any. Otherwise photograph it and post it on "Geek" forum (which one?). Hope my EPROM writer that I keep meaning to throw out, a Stag PP39 will take a chip. Copy the later chip and burn to a new one. Update the other two.

 

Alternatively pay a LOT of dosh for the makers to do something no doubt very similar.

 

My PP39 has only two sockets, like in the second photo in this .pdf file.

 

Thanks.

Im pretty sure we can do that and more Chris, our new bit of kit can let us look at the file and analyse it and give you back a few variations as well as the original and a copy of that.
