RE: DATA I/O 29B

Further research: Does anyone have a later manual than &quot;29A Universal Programmer 990-0029 Rev E May 1982&quot;? Al has that version on Spies, but I was hoping a later version might cover other items, such as the Unipak 2B memory expansion module, and the 128K expansion, plus better troubleshooting for the serial port.<br>
<br>
Currently I have just tried the CODE 10 with PromLin 3.10 in CODE 10, and it seems to store in raw binary! BUT when I try to upload the same file back to the 29B I get &quot;Error #46 I/O Timeout&quot;, which looks suspiciously like the error I get running PromLink 6.10 (I/O error). Soooo why would I be able to communicate to the computer and be able to SAVE a file, but trying to send the SAME file back, get a timeout error? Is it Miller Time already???<br>

&gt; <x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>I use 3.10, with code 10, and have not had one bit of <br>
&gt; trouble.&nbsp; Of<br>
&gt; course, being a computer old timer, I still think 9600 baud <br>
&gt; is pretty quick,<br>
&gt; and am happy to use it (the baud rate which I am happy using a VT320<br>
&gt; connected to a vms box).<br>
<br>
This is probably the cause of my problems. It's been years since<br>
I used the older (pre-version 6) Promlink and don't have access<br>
to it anymore. Did someone have it available on thier website?<br>
<br>
The problem with the RAW BINARY code 16 is that my 29B will not<br>
recognize it. The firmware in mine is version 6, the EPROMs are<br>
numbered 315-14-49 thru 315-14-55. I haven't tried Alex's<br>
version 5 EPROMs yet. I'm hoping that it doesn't require a PAL<br>
change to swap versions, DATA I/O use to be famous for this.<br>

&gt; <x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>I tried using the 6.10 version, and get the hanging <br>
&gt; problem as well.<br>
&gt; With 3.10, I use net rom binaries, and have no problems at all.<br>
<br>
Mike, what the version number of your firmware in the 29B?<br>
