Thanks everyone. Yes the software is odd. but it works with my two 866's. But I have to use a different version for each one. I went to the link above and with one of those coupon finder extensions was able to get it for 43 shipped. I'll report back after it arrives and after I test a few of these …

Cool !! The T48 looks about right. I checked the parts link for that. It seems to cover almost all the chips above. But there what seem to be prices all over the place. Most from Ali-Express. The $15.00 ones I would assume are fakes. The, what looks official, the LRF site, has it for $40, but …

WOW! Thanks for that! Very cool unit. But my Main rig does not have a printer/parallel port Also not that simple to use. dip switches and voltages ? I'd kill every eprom I have just to find the right settings. Or am I missing something. And the printer port is an issue.

Thanks, That is a little more involved than I would prefer. Is there a unit I could just purchase to do that I am asking about?

I have a large stash of a couple hundred 27xxx eproms My T866CS or TL866 II Plus programmers can not read or program any of them. Well, if I guess at some I can read something but am unsure if it is right. I have a good UV eraser for them. I think my programmers do not have enough voltage to program …

Thanks for the quick reply. Cutting down to side is no problem. I saw those but they are not sticky on either side. I need 2-sided sticky pads.

Hi, I am looking for some thermal 2-sided tape for hold down passive heatsinks that do not have clips. I have various 386 to P1 boards I use for testing. I do not run them long. Maybe up to 10 minutes. I usually just put a loose heat sink on the CPU. But recently I killed a board when I son came …

I just use one Windows 98 hard disk for all my motherboards.

Win98 I think does a hardware check on boot. If it finds stuff it dose not know about it tries to install drivers, and/or ask User for further driver locations. If there was a "Generic" install with just the bare minimum of MS drivers, just enough to get things up and running on any hardware config, …

But not going the traditional way of installing from CD or the coping the win98 directory to the CF card and then running setup, Then spending a few hours installing, updating, etc. This has already been done millions of times. …
