I bought a 1702A programmer off e-bay in September for ~$600 because my Altair programmer is too hard to use for large big jobs. The thing never worked! I finally traced the problem down to the power supply shutting off when the 1702A programming current turns on. I replaced the power supply and it works perfectly.
I can now program a 256 byte 1702A EPROM in 4 minutes 40 seconds from Windows XP! ![]() I will be shipping out the 8 EPROM sets very soon to those who bought the PMC card but have not received the EPROMs. |

Very cool! What make of programmer is it Grant? I'd like to keep an eye open for one myself. I suppose you got the last one on the planet though :-)
I have been toying with the idea of building one as an alternative. I've got a programmer that goes back to 2708 but that unit was never capable of 1702 and friends due to the power supply requirements. So, 1702 is the missing link here. Chris |

Eight Sets!?! What's included in those? I am on the list of ROM board purchasers, right?

These are the EPROMs on my card. I will be offering an advanced ROM monitor to replace F and H for people who don't own or never intend to own a disk drive system. The extended ROM monitor is a lot more useful than the standard one.
A-VTL2 - Very Tiny Language 2 B-VTL2 C-VTL2 D-VLT2 E-Music - The Altair AM radio music program with its own bootloader F-Monitor - A ROM monitor G-MBL - Tape / paper tape boot loader H-DBL - Disk Boot Loader Anyone who bought the 88-PMC gets the ROM set, so yes you will have one set (8 EPROMs in each set) The programmer is a B&K Precision 864 WITH the 1702A module. The 1702A module sits on top and has its own switching power supply and a TON of transistors. I'm pretty sure the B&K programmer is really a private labeled programmer made by a European company. |

Hi Grant -- great news on the programmer!
Can I purchase a rom set for use in an original 8800b? If so can you please send price inc shipping, etc? proemer@centurytel.net Pete Roemer / Trueflight P.O. Box 1000 Manitowish Waters, WI 54545 (Where it's now 3 in the afternoon and -10F) Thanks, Pete |
