Hi David,
i take the time to verify that my eproms in the counter where really
Am29F010B-45jc.
OK, i would be happy to have the "good image files you generated from good
parts".
The HP-reference of mine are :
U8 53132-80023 3944
U9 " -80024 "
U10 " -80025 "
U11 " -80026 "
The memories (U8) have the refrence :
AM 29F 010B
-45jc
0010 DBA
1998 AMD
So, how can i receive your files?
During the tests i've found an other fail : FR end, but the two entrances
are functionnal, i didn't test as time interval counter.
For the OCXO option, i thought i need a more powerfull PSU than the basic
one...
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Alain
F4GBC (Ref 55987)
