Re: Pro-Log M980 Programmer
Hi Randy, thanks for the info. We will give it a try and we will see whats happen. With best regards Gerhard Zitat von Randy Dawson : I had a Data I/O 29B with a serial interface and I assume your Pro-Log is similar. Cabled up and baud correct you should get a menu on a CR with your host. Mine took an Intel or Motorala ASCI HEX string on power up without any commands or prompts.

I have everything needed, but how can I get the data in? There is a serial interface, did anybody have some program for a standard PC to handle that daa transfer? Cabling istn't an issue, can do it. Thanks for helping. With best regards Gerhard

It's a very basic unit powered by an Intel 4004 or 4040. The manuals on bitsavers do a very good job explaining how to use the 980 and 900, as Brent mentioned. Kyle >

Do you not have the manual? The M980 manual is on bitsavers. I have the slightly earlier M900 model, by the front panel they're quite similar. I've used it for programming 2716s, although it's been a few years. IIRC it's an ASCII-format protocol for RS-232 serial, so you just have to have a terminal program you can dump a file through. Be careful about the hardware communications interfaces. The 9-pin D connector labeled 'serial interface' is not the RS-232 serial standard. There were several firmware and hardware communication options. Do you have the pro-log adapter, or are you making an assumption about what's there? My unit had the RS-232/serial firmware option but was missing the RS-232 adapter, so I had to build one (can be done with just a MAX232 IC).
