epromer6_1060.zip - version 1.0.60
This is the Full Installation package for newest Epromer6 software.

This version 1.0.60 suffered minor updates on the software panel when using WindowsXP, and includes a 8MB file (MDAC_TYP.EXE)  to allow instalation under Windows98, keep this in mind if you have Windows98 platform.

This version shows CheckSum information for the binary file read, as well the device (eprom, etc) read or verified.

Note below the new executable version EPROMER6AJ.EXE.   Download that file and replace at the directory installed by this zip.

epromer6_1054.zip - version 1.0.54
This is the Full Installation package for Epromer6 software.
This BETA version, is the PHOENIX from the Epromer5 ashes. It supports Epromer4, Epromer5 and Epromer6 boards being already distributed.  This version identifies and adapts itself for any of those 3 boards.  There are hardware modifications from one board to another, the software needs to know it.

This version 1.0.54 supports Eeproms 24C08, 24C16 and 24C32
Flash units are not available in this version yet (Use Epromer5 version above)
Improved better programming algoritms for Eproms 2732 to 27C801 (4k to 1MegaByte). The new algoritm serves better eproms from many different manufacturers.  The new routines in this version runs much better than the old ones in the Epromer5N version above.  If you are running the Epromer and don't need flash capabilities (for a while), this is the best version to use.

Basic change from board Epromer5 to Epromer6 is the hardware to support 2716 eproms. If you already installed the Epromer5 Full package above, you don't need to run this Installation Package, just copy the bare executable file below to the same Epromer5 directory (epromer6ac.exe).   You can have both versions in the same directory, but don't run both versions at the same time - unexpected results can happens.

Epromer6 software version can drive either EPROMER4, EPROMER5 or EPROMER6 boards.

epromer6ah.exe - version 1.0.67
This is the
Latest Executable file for the package Epromer6_1060.zip above.  

If you have the Epromer5 package installed and wish to have the Epromer6 version, copy this file into the same Epromer5 directory.  All the other files from Epromer5 will serve well this Epromer6.  In case of not working, download and install the full epromer6_1060.zip package above, then copy this file into the same directory. This should be the file to be running, not the file supplied at the zip above.
 
Epromer6 software version can drive either EPROMER4, EPROMER5 or EPROMER6 boards.

1.0.67  Latest Updates:

CheckSumm is now automatically at the System Window, for reading files and chips.
Control Panel received some user-friendly changes.
Releasing of programming routines for AMD FLash Units.
Correction for the premature ending during Flash Erase Sequence.
Implementing a new Message Box when an error happens.
Correcting from 14 to 16 information lines at Hexa/Ascii WIndow.
Xicor and Atmel AT29C256 routines implemented.

 We are releasing more and more flash units routines starting at version 1.0.65.

This EPROMER6AG.EXE version support some AMD Flash Units, as the AM29F010, AM29F020 and AM29F040.  In some WIndows XP and 2000, the Epromer6 boards require to install a small capacitor of 4700pF between pin #1 of the DB25 connector and Ground.  Without it, the Epromer6 can't recognize some AMD flash units.  In doubt contact our technical support (support@ustr.net).

epromer6aj.exe - version 1.0.68

This is the
Latest Executable file for the package Epromer6_1060.zip above.  
If your computer is slower than 1Ghz, then install the Epromer6ah.exe instead.

The main change in this version is speed.  As computers speed went very much faster and use clock algorithms not recognized by the Epromer routines, we included time consuming routines to allow faster computers to work around lazy chips.  The operation still the same, the speed lever now try to adjust better speed ratio.  For faster computers use speed lever to position between 1 and 8.  Speed it up as it works fine. Some chips works at any speed, but others do not.

We receive a report that some programming failures could be bypassed if you reselect the chip after loading the binary file from the hard-disk.  This report suggest that loading the binary file change in some way the chip selected parameters, so it need to re-select the chip type to correct the problem.  We found no problem with the binary file loading routine, nothing that could change the chip selected parameters, but something in memory could be messing up, so, keep it in mind.


By some reason that even Microsoft can not explains, their own VB6 Suite generated Installation Package sometimes crashes or loops during files installation, most of the cases on Windows ME version.   If this is your case, interrupt the installation process and try to run the Epromer5 or Epromer6 program directly from the installation directory. If something is missing you can download it from below on this page.  If the software complains about a missing DLL or OCX, you can find it below, just download, unzip if zipped, move to your C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System or C:\Windows\System32 directory as stated.  
In terms, you don't even need to download the Full-Install package, you can create a new directory, example; C:\EPROMER5 and copy the EPROMER5N.EXE into, also download the IO.DLL to your C:\WINDOWS directory.  Then run the Epromer5N and see what else it is complaining, download and install it from this yellow area.  Some Windows already have the DLLs or OCX installed, some don't. It is impossible to know your actual status.   The new Epromer6_1054 package and above seems not presenting this problem - It was generated under VB6 Suite updated to Service Pack 5, what seems to have this problem fixed.

Some OCX or DLL require you to update Windows Registry, to do so, just go to Start, Run and type;   
REGSVR32  FILE.OCX  or  REGSVR32  FILE.DLL  whatever the case, where "FILE" is the filename, of course.
