Thanks, but I'm trying to replace the existing rom chip, with a new one (that I programmed) in the exact same footprint as the original rom.


why not just remove the original rom chip, and then solder the new one in?  if the footprint/pinout are the same, this would be the most straightforward way to do this

it sounds like you might be trying to auto-install the drivers, if so, thats the issue most likely.

you'll have to do it all manually.  meaning, tell the prompt exactly where the files are, don't let it search for them at all. 

the auto-install process which works for most other drivers won't work with these.  gotta manually point the prompt to the right file folder

if your install doesn't work, i've found its best to start over again with entirely fresh files.  go through the whole process again with new files.  something in the install changes them in some way, restarting with fresh ones help quite a bit for many people

also, use a USB port directly on the computer (not through a hub or something).

it works very well, i'll have a board out in the next couple weeks (a Jazzmarazz routing job, thanks Jazz) which utilizes this same approach.  chopping the vias in half, i mean.

worked great.  there are a couple burrs (spelling?) to clean up, but that was it

(OSHpark did the samples, haven't tried my normal fab house for the bulk run yet, but on a 1.6mm board from oshpark this worked really well)

these are being done here, i think its the same concept at least

^ yes.  you should.  it'd be of much help methinks

i think someone may have coded in a word replacement.  ?????

it should say:

U.S. veteran labradors

fuck.

wtf

it doesn't say anything about labradors.  i'm not sure whats going on

this looks like it was a lot of fun!

i have mailed out tons of stuff to people at FOBs through the years

and keep a pretty hefty supply of APO/FPO mailing supplies because there is enough of an active military component in this community to justify doing that.  you'd be surprised at the # of people who are either deployed, want a gameboy for their leave, or recently discharged

I can't tell you how many times my bank information has been stolen and used to by shoes from zappos.

thieves always seem to need new shoes!  i've known several people who had their stolen credit card #s used for zappos

cm.o was the joining of two efforts to provide an alternative to 8bc.  cm.o and 8bit-forums.  which is now long gone.  it made much more sense to combine our energies, basically.

i think i'm the only one left from 8bit-forums, come to think about it...  tongue

the reasoning is two fold, from what i recall

1) a majority of the original staff here came from staff duties at 8bc at one point in time, and it was a big time-eater with all the name-change-requests they had there (i contributed to that work load, i must admit)

2) being that the forum is arranged to be tracked in chronological order, in order to avoid gaps or inconsistencies in the 'trail of knowledge' or whatever we would rather keep the names as they were in the conversation, and definitely don't delete stuff in order to avoid gaps.  if we must, its moved to the graveyard to go and die (this was made to have an alternative to deletion)

some of the arrangements here are a reaction to what wasn't working at 8bc (from the staff's perspective there).  if anyone remembers, information being deleted became an issue there so we started out with an approach to not let that happen here

i can recall only one name change here myself, but the circumstances were particularly unique (and staff wasn't in complete unison about that either).  very unique circumstance.

While we're at it, can someone tell me who I need to talk to about getting a username change?

open a new account, and stop using this one

unless there are very legit extenuating circumstances, we don't do name changes
