Re: Trouble with Pocket Programmer

[Roger Heflin <rah@horizon.hit.net>]

I have not had any problems with mine.  I did have one that did what
you describe, it did that after I plugged the transformer for the
eraser (20V) into it.   I am made sure since then not to make that
mistake again.   I am not counting that as having problems with it
since I made the mistake, by pluggin in the wrong transformer.   

Where is the PP made?I thought it was made about 3-4 hours from where
I am.

One suggestion, you might set your email proram to not send html
messages, send text messages, alot of the lists will get unhappy with
html messages.

Each time I do a check sum calculation on a chip it is different.  I have no idea for sure what is causing my problem.  I've tried the p.p. on my PII-300 laptop, my 286 laptop and my PII-350 PC.  It will not work correctly with any of them.  I did notice that the power supply I got with the unit is putting out about 14V D.C. on my multi-meter.  That is quite a bit higer than the 9V it's suppose to be putting out.  I'm gonna pick up a new P.S. at Radio Shack tomorrow and see what happens.  My best guess is either the high voltage is messing with the p.p. or the p.p. is already fried because of it.  If I don't have any luck, I'll get ahold of the place who built the p.p. (the company that builds it is only 15 miles from me) and see what they have to say.  I thought maybe some of you may have some ideas!
