Received my Xgpro TL866II Plus yesterday and was unsure how to install it until I watched your video. Your instructions helped me to get it to work so I'm now a happy bunny!!. One problem I had was that the screen was nothing like yours, but then realized that my software was version 8 and yours was 10.8. I Googled 'Xgpro TL866II Plus latest software' and downloaded xgproV1100_setup which when installed, matches yours. Thanks very much for taking the time to upload your excellent video, I'm really pleased with the device and can now blow my BBC Micro ROMS.
Thanks Tony. I am following Ben Eater and his series on 6802 microprocessor and I bought the tl866 from him, but going to the manufacturer site to get the software they say it’s been archived, so if it wasn’t for your good self I wouldn’t be able to get the software. Thanks very much
Hi Tony, I've had a TL866II Plus for several months and I like it. I'm not surprised that you could read a TMS2764 but you know of course that to be programmed, according to the TI datasheet it needs a Vpp of 21V? The TL866II Plus sets it to 18V, which is its maximum. Did you know that and did you try writing the 2764? The Vpp max of 18V is one of the few disadvantages of the TL866II Plus over its predecessors, the TLS866A and TLS866CS.
I did see a video. with one making a voltage socket, in between adaptor for it. and it worked just fine. with 21 and 25v :) think I found one of the videos. he is using a 9v battery to raise voltage :) ua-cam.com/video/IpQ3w7sMOYo/v-deo.html
Could someone please help clarify for me how to successfully "test clip" program a soldered Macronix MX25L4006E SOP8 and a Winbond W25Q128JV SOIC8 chip both on the same TYAN S5545AG2NR-HE "secure flash" model motherboard using this XGecu T56? I understand that this model needs custom "crossover" wiring from the ICSP to the clip and proper grounding and whatnot and the diagram which comes up in the XGecuPro Software v1266A for each module to explain the "in-circuit" custom ICSP pinout is not clear at all to me concerning how this test clip should be wired for a successful chip pin connection. I bought this for work for this particular time-pressing project I'm working on and cannot make heads or tails of how I'm supposed to wire this ICSP to test clip for these two model chips. This T56 is literally worthless to me if I cannot get this sorted out. My simple Coright Skypro is much easier to use than this device -- it literally autosenses all modules and senses with successful programming many SOIC/SOP-8/16 soldered "in-circuit" chips with POMONA or 3M Test Clips with little struggle. Admittedly my handy Magnifying Lamp is a huge help in getting solid clip commections and minimizing destroying clips too quickly, but this soldered Macronix MX25L4006E on the TYAN S5545AG2NR-HE "secure flash" model motherboard is not reading or writing correctly at all. I've ruined 3 total clips struggling before realizing the chip needs a custom wiring for a successful ICSP connection. The problem is what exactly that 8 pin wired schematic looks like. I've messaged the XGecu and posted on their message board with zero response. If you boast in-circuit programming concerning your programming product, you shouldn't make the instructions impossible to sort out. This is extremely frustrating. Can someone help me out with this "in-circuit 8-pin SOP pinout ICSP connector to Ponoma test clip" please?
@@TonyAlbusI have one here. T56 has ZIF48 socket and can support many more chips including TSOP56 and NAND. It also supports older EPROMs that require 25V program voltage. However there are still a lot of missing chips and/or software bugs. This is why I have 10 EPROM programmers ^_^
The logic chip testing functions of that programmer software are copied directly from other s/w and contain the same bugs or omissions. If you really want to test logic chips more thoroughly or test chips not supported by that programmer you should get a Retro Chip Tester Pro. This device is a game changer :-)
hm that is a great feature of that programmer, offcourse i have a totally different programmer(vs4000+ i believe) and now you got me wondering if mine can doe simular testing of logic chips lol Thanks for the video Tony!
@@TonyAlbus ha I didn't know but yes the vs4000+ (yes I ordered the plus version also lol never used any of those weird adapters) can indeed do logic testing as well
Do you know any websites,where we can download dumps,for various electronic devices,like smart TV's and similar? I cannot write that code myself,I am not there yet,but it would help with my repair shop business. Thank you
How or where can I download more IC binary files, so that I can test more ICs then are currently listed. Like some of the older ones, that are no longer listed.
The older ones not in the list, could also have an higher programming voltage, this one only goes upto 18 Volts, the older need 21 or 25 or more. i also have an GQ4x4 / GQ4x v4 , i will show later.. that one can program older EPROMS too.

Hi Gera, i have not had that before, what you can do is. 1. make sure the IC is supported by looking at the compatability list 2. make sure you have the latest software and firmware of the prog. device. 3. make sure the IC is not broken 4. If you checked 1,2 and 3 contact you seller or the manufactor

Good thing, many thanks. (On my own behalf; for viewers like my which have not English as their native language, you are accustically not very good to understand in your videos.

Yes you are correct Raymond, i meight need an older one too... or get my Commodore C64 back running with that programmer i used that time.

Excellent! It arrived quickly.
Just programmed a few PIC microcontrollers on mine tonight.
Thanks, Yes very fast indeed.. i am very lucky with delivery last weeks. great advice Stephen, Thanks, it is very nice.
i need to play more... i did not program any eproms or pic(did not excist yet) for the last 25 years...

Cant get the driver to install properly. Setup says driver is installed but device manager says cannot start error code 10

I have those programmer too.. But why it can't erase my chip? Do I need those EPROMs eraser to do that? My eprom chip is 24c16n
i am not sure it is supported, for normal eprons i use : EPROM Erase go.tonyalbus.com/ewipe
but yours don't seem to have a window in it.
Sir I want to help for programming sir I have save the data but 25% data save not 100% so what can I do
Him if you selected the correct Eprom and it still fails, try programming on lower speed. by default it is not on the lowest speed.
Can this do write flash?
Ik one of the links is i think a list of supported chips, if flash is not supportded, have a look at the GQ-4x4 that has a bigger support list.
Is it support windows 11?
Just checked on the website but i don't see it there. but when it works on Win10 i think it will be on 11 also
