I just started using the GQ 4x4 for pinball eproms.
I purchased a few AM2716B 12.5v eproms. I used the programmer to make a sound chip for a pinball just to see if everything worked.
All was well, and sound eprom AM2716B 12.5v worked perfect.
Now I am trying to make more roms with the 2716B and keep getting write errors. I even tried to make another sound rom and still now get write error.
Seems something is wrong as I previously made a good sound rom with the same 2716B, but now get write errors every time.
I tried external 6v power, slower speed, still same error.
Can anyone help me with some advice or suggestions?
Thanks Much

Did you erase it correctly? |

Thank You for your reply.
I used the EPROM eraser I got with the GQ 4x4. I ran blank check before every try, and GQ software said chip is blank. Is there a special way to erase correctly? I am very new to this and really don't know anything about burning eproms.
I did notice one of the 2716 eprom always comes up as not blank no matter how many times I erase it.
The errors I get are so fast into the write process that the chip is still blank when using blank check. The error I get with the sound file I burned sucessfully once is this
"Write Failed, Address = 0x000000, buffer = 0x87 device = 0xFF
The error for the other file is:
"Write Failed, address = 0x000000, buffer = 0x1A Device = 0xFF
What is the time period for correctly erasing an eprom?
I'm not sure but I think the good eproms I made were used as I received them.
Seems any eprom I erased wont work, not sure on this as I just thought of it.
The eraser is one that came with the GQ 4x4 as a package. It looks very cheap but it came from GQ 4x4 manufacture.

If one chip does not erase well it's probably bad.
Do you use external power to program? |

OK, I'll try 9v
But I think the eproms are bad.
Got them off ebay, seller is sending 4 more from a different batch.
Thanks for all your help. |
