Apple ii EEPROM Programer Card?

[jajan547]

Hello everyone I recently won this in an auction and thought it was neat. I have a few questions though. To begin is this documentation (that looks like a reprint) correct for this programmer? What chips are compatible with this card and what can it program, even if it's just a few chips that anyone knows of that helps? Are these rare and has anyone here had experience with one? I'd like to dig up as much information as I can about this. I look forward to using it.

Let me ask around at KansasFest. There should be someone who knows about this card.

Owner provided more documentation and original ad. Also I included the instructions.

I saw the card but couldn't bring myself to buy it. The DIP EPROMs it supports are definitely useful for this era of stuff, but I personally would be reluctant to use a setup as old as an Apple II to burn ROMs anymore. You need a good steady voltage and as I'm sure you know it can take 10-20 minutes to erase a chip in between attempts. I suppose with a new or recapped PSU in the machine there isn't really anything wrong with giving it a try.

I will admit it would be awesome to see it work, but, I will continue to rely on my newer programmers which support these chips as well as other ROMs, GALs, and PIC chips.

Oh I intend to use my new programmer but figured why not try some simple things on this, very neat little device and I agree fortunately my ][ Plus is recapped.

Found the lost software thanks to a previous seller of said card. I left it below in a .zip, also uploading to Macintosh Garden, Macintosh Repository, and Archive.org.

In the Computist magazine (issue number 22), I found mention of this pROMgrammer card for the Apple II that you have, @jajan547. It was $149.50 from the Southern California Research group back in 1982. See highlights and the article.

I’ll give this a read very neat find @retr01

Here’s a very bad quality YouTube video I just uploaded, it’s still processing better formats so hence the bad quality now and excuse the background noise.

And I need subtitles for me. It takes YouTube a while to set that up.

Ow. My neck hurts. 90 degree viewing the Apple ][ screen in that video.

Not my best work
