Hi Branden,
VultureProg was mentioned - even a DIY emulator would be fairly
straightforward; that's a nice microcontroller project.
That seems a bit overkill, but then again flash chips seem to be more
expensive then microcontrollers these days. I don't think I'm up to
working on something like that right now though.
Not sure if that might be what you're looking for, but I have
successfully used a memSIM2 emulator on a similarly old platform. It's
basically an SRAM, some level shifters and a microcontroller to program
the SRAM via USB. There's some open source software that can talk to the
device; never tested the vendor software. Beware though that you must
make sure that there are no +12V on the two pins that might be used for
programming voltage; if +12V is present on the socket on the mainboard
and you plug the emulator in there, it'll fry the emulator. I ended up
plugging a socket with those two pins removed between the socket on the
mainboard and the emulator.
Regards,
Felix
