Hi Gary,

I want to programme a EP1810, which is aintegral part of some vintage Sinclair QL expansion boards and PC ISA card that uses the EP1810 for the on board logic. I had guessed that the EP1810 did not have a JTAG interface, I was just asking the question.

I omly have the JEDEC file, which I am hoping can be imported into the programmer software. The source code is proably lost and only the Jedec file exists. I suppose the Jedec file could be disassmbled, but that maybe very difficult.

I live in the UK, which I think that sending to you maybe a little expensive. I am keen to get a programmer myself.

There are some PLAD3-12 MPU base Adapters on ebay, but no LP6 Logic Card. The shipping from USA maybe more than cost of the interface.

Do you of any other programmers other than the DATA I/O Unisite Programmer. I have a HILO Systems ALL03a programmer that has the programming software, but need a special adapter, maybe easier to make the adapter to suit the programmer and the Altera chip.
