Let me ask you about the USERCODE, is there a way to view the usercode, (which I assume is the checksum) by using the test chain function?
The value displayed is always 0000 FFFF. Would the test chain read 0000 FFFF or the checksum?
I would try this myself but I am not in a position to do so at this time and will not be for a few more days.
The problem with using the old programming software is that win10 is the only allowed operating system because of the work we do.
The programming computer has to be tied into the LAN so that the pof file can be downloaded. This keeps the wrong version of firmware out of reach.
I understand that the legacy Max+Plus II tool was developed before win10 time. so you can't say that it is win10 compatible.
Intel's V18 programmer list this MAX device and allows you to select the device but can't do all the functional attributes, but it looks like it can program and verify.
What it programs and verifies, I don't know if it programming the pof file or just a bunch of 0xFF etc.
Maybe there more to the function "EXAMINE" than just reading back the checksum?
