                       i note and downloaded topwin v6 first   the site state's it's compatable with top2009 and 3x however its XX top win any top
  same config problems sorry 
  same lack of eprom proper vcc for blank and write varify at 5v and 6.25v cmos  5v and 6v nmos directives at least or even add a box?>??
  i think ill hack there exe and add the box routines its getting that long 
  i know they maybe dont see  the use but they are destroying there market abroud  by not having some sort of quality control of sensitive files like chip configs   that affect  even the running vcc level of a chip
  ive seen even in this version 6   5 errors so far  that will blow up the chip as the vcc is set to 5v  for a 3.3v  chip {same as before} and even in there new programmers  for usb 2
 
  same old complaint
  different nicer software  that does  what it should with win vista afterall its only a few changes between vista and xp&< : in c++ i know i do it all day ..... there are also free auto conversion tools  some functions in c++ were renamed to stop unfilled buffers thats ALL  appart from how they are and were difined
 
  so whats the problems with the configs
  its simple 
  WE  arent sharring findings in a logical way and this will piss the chinese off
  and  they arent adding a simple set of three boxes avalible in the config  tab when using the top for programming cmos nmos eporms so we are ALL  its customers left to adjust the config file  for one off  programming i know i can pick 5 eproms out the bucket they are all the same size but different makers so the solution is to fix  the main set of config variables 'generic' and set them up as needed THEN   make a copy and merge it if you update  the software from there site ive said before i use 3 file sets 
 
  and so it goes on 
  i wont be buying another top programmer its just too much hasle
  i will get something much better maybe the later dataman models  back to adding to the v6 config again ...what a piss take
  they are simply selling the same light bulb again |

                       taken from top2049 device config file 
  applies to top XX programmers  eprom default config you can also add delay factors  so get to know your eproms
  most makers 120ns chips need a 100ms or 200ms delay  i use 1ms  so so far in there software you can add ,dly=1 or 2 or 3 etc  for 100us 200us 1ms delay = 100us good for faster than 100ns chips delay = 200us better for faster than or equal to 120ns chips delay = 1ms  seems good for pics  i see lots of dly=3  etc
 
  open your programmer config file  found in the C:\Top\Topwin6  as  device2049 device2007  etc... youll see the generic eproms section of the config file  near the top of the file
  just copy and paste to overwrite there generic settings this applies to only the generic section of the choices  as there 'run' as chip select  menu 
  youll see it will now program the chip !!!  you can try first if you like with no adjustments but programming will fail after a few or less bytes,,

                       Hey
  I've been looking into these top programmers. on their website www.top2048.com the have a device list from the top2009 that works with topwin6. Is this the top2049 if not can anyone direct me to a site which stocks the top2009.
  thankyou |

                       hi there Simon, can you put hear the list of vcc of a 29f010 and 010b of your top software?humm my is with vcc 5000 and its not working...gives again error of verify, and if i want to read the eeprom the checsum its always diferent, only f i turn the vcc to 3300, i can read correctly, but not program...:(
  Thanks... |

                       that ic needs the correct voltages or it will lock out writes
  look here from its datasheet
  VCC Supply Voltage. The VCC Supply Voltage supplies the power for all operations (Read, Program, Erase etc.). The Command Interface is disabled when the VCC Supply Voltage is less than the Lockout Voltage, VLKO. This prevents Bus Write operations from accidentally damaging the data during power up, power down and power surges. If the Program/ Erase Controller is programming or erasing during this time then the operation aborts and the memory contents being altered will be invalid.
 
  and this chip will NOT  flash easily   you can flash it however it will fail to varify 
  becouse there software doesnt have seperate read and write voltage settings   if you look at the symantics of this ic  youll see this {ie lockout supply needs to be below 4.2v and above 3.2} for normal operation of the ic  but needs to be <4.2v to read and active bus commands im not sure how the programmer will address the chip to do this as it needs to move the voltage to 4.2v to varify  without data damage  address the commands  then move it back to 5v to read it and there software and maybe the people who write it  dont seem to have the brains yet....

                       :) lol, good explanation, thanks, so its nothing to do about it :(, i got a top2049 new, that only works with 27c256, 87c256, etc, the eeprom that i usualy uses dont work :), simeon thanks for all the answers that you give :)
  Have a nice day..

                       yes henry
  it will work   but not with that software as is  it has very little programming algurithms for eepoms 
  you can flash them easy anyway  using a very simple eeprom programmer
  the very cheep 18$+$6.50 usb/parallel willem but you need a pci lpt port card if your machine is usb/com only  or you can get pcmcia cards on ebay for lpt for laptops i use it for good advice  both together will flash just about anything i also use a picall later version programmer and also a gal programer does pal also 
  i got out my scrap box  an old very mcu tmp80C39Ap  it flashed fine!!! in the top over 17 years old ic   now runs my lcd clock as the mcu it has was gubbed no other one seems to support it easily
  the top will program some fast eproms better but seems by type  you need to chill some types of chip i found ST chips need to be at around 0c to program well anyway with either  the software did however program one chip i had used before but failed
  i dedicated the failure to not having removed all usb devices  other than the programmer   from the same controller most pc has atleast two so use another for the mouse etc  and better not to program and move the mouse etc
  i also set the system processor in windows to background service  and the ram use to programs and set a system mangaged swap file size  the top has worked with most ic's  and its ttl detection has worked wonders in other work in doing on a pedulum timer board ..

                       ok i worked out its quite easy
  to write/erase set to vcc = 5v  and just dont varify it untick the box  or better just use write 
  then set the voltage to 3.6v  and varify  try that 
  im sure looking this is right i think varify needs to be 4.2v  or less or chip is erased 
  this is my interpritation of this problem |

                       im sure it will work fine
  the guys who build it seem to have made a nice job  and its well supported {knowone has complained and this is a good sign}

                      |  I have found that Version 6 Top software will not erase 28F020 devices. I had to go back to version 5! |
