This different eproms have some differences in pinout,
and if PCB was done for a 64k 24pin (as commodore made.. 2364 pinout) you have to adapt your eprom rewiring some pins or using an adaptor or.... you have to use another eprom "pin-compatible" as old Motorola (ask to Eslaption) or the 27HC641:

My programmer (TL866) does not support them and the prices are incredibly high. Thanks for the advice though
I was looking at the pinout on 2332 and 2732 and form what it looks like A11 is the only different pin and the two others.

Another thing for you silicon lovers. I have these four chips that where left after the sorting, but I can't find anything on them. This time I have no clue The first three seemed to be manufacture by AMD seeing the logo.

9LS10 is equivalent at 74LS10,
(AMD)9016D are Dinamic RAM 16Kx1bit (D= 250nS): http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/memory/4116.htm

Thanks very much they will come in handy later.

The TL866 is inexpensive for a reason; it supports only the very standard 27XX and 27CXX series of EPROMs. It doesn't program any of the 27C400/800/160/322 EPROMs which are pin compatible with Amiga ROMs and it doesn't support the MCM68764/66/27HC641 which are pin compatible with Commodore 8 bit systems ROMs.

Not incredibly useful, IMHO.

In my case I don't have 120$ to spend on an IC programmer, but I do agree that it should support more IC's.

I just checked but if your chip is pin compatible with another one, even though they are different markings, and it has the same programming algorithm. Then you can program it, although this doesn't work with all chips.

You can in some cases make adapters to allow use of unsupported chips. For instance I made an adapter to burn old TI 2532s with 2732 software settings using my Willem 3.5 board, and the same method with the MCM68764 etc.. The only real limitation of the TL866 (I have one too) is the limit of 21V max. Some old chips need 25V. With the older chips that require a long program pulse time you can just write them multiple times to "add up" the time and charge to the proper levels. I always check the spec sheets because the different manufacturer chips may have different programming requirements. for example Those old TI 2532s required a super long 50 ms programming pulse and 25V. Programming them 4 times at the Willem's max of 12 ms did the trick.

I think it just comes down to usage. I won't ever need it to program anything complex and it's just what I need. Unless I find a cheap professional one someday

I got some time to make better looking adapters. If I can I will try to make a pcb version that way I can spend more time using them instead of making them, seeing that it took me 1/2 an hour to make these two.

Looks good. I can't tell by the picture, but just in case..I recommend the thinner pin headers like these round ones https://www.ebay.com/itm/172001313010 <-the 2.45mm is a typo it's 2.54.

The standard square pins tend to loosen up the IC sockets because they are pretty thick. If you ever use an IC in the socket again, it may have poor contact. Especially with the single-wipe commodore sockets.

I just barely noticed, I was inserting them and the sockets became loose . I haven't inserted them since, but now at least I don't have to use a lot of force to insert the pins
Again my bad not being informed.

The one thing I dislike about the round ones is that you have to be careful not bend the pins when inserting and removing them because they will snap off if bent just a little bit and they bend pretty easy. They aren't nearly as durable as the square ones. I just try and keep the board level when inserting/removing. I haven't had them bend/break when being careful. I used them on some Swinsids I made for the C64 and they have held up to several swaps. They do keep the sockets nice and tight.

So I know I keep asking and reviving this post, but I don't want to make another one.

I got another batch of used IC's and I've struggled to find the datasheet for 70% of the IC's. For some reason the members on this forum are better at identifying IC's than me. Probably because I don't know what I'm doing.
Here are a few pictures...

The first picture show two different types of IC's; one is a RAM IC and the other I have no idea. The only info I found with the HD26501 is a sheet saying it's obsolete.

Now the second picture is more of a question: Why do some National Semiconductor IC's have two numbers like that?

My last question is: What can I do with a MOS 6530? The lot had a few and I'm not sure what to do with them.
Thanks!
