Quoted from Phat_Jay:Hi guys, I have a tl866, but it won’t burn the 25v chips. I need to burn some 2532’s which are 25v. Is the gq-4x reliable for them? From what I’ve read here it should work, just need to know for sure as cash is tight and rather not buy another burner if it won’t work for me. Thx again guys, I kno very little about this.
It should, but for me at least, it has not. I've got six TMS2532A-##JL chips, and can not get them burned on the GQ-4X. I am in the process of experimenting with the different options, but to this point, I have had no success with this lot of chips. I can't remember where I got them right now, went looking through my receipts and can't find one for those chips.
I've got 2732's that I have burned with no issues whatsoever with the GQ-4X. I also have 27C128's for D&D, that I can not get to burn on the GQ-4X.
Got those last two from Marco, so all else aside they "should" be reliable. So, I've got this new burner, and two of the three chips I want to be able to burn, I can't get to burn. The 2732's and the 2532's are for Fireball II.
I haven't even begun to consider chips for the Lord of the Rings pin.
This is frustrating.
All ROM zips downloaded from IPDB, btw. I am using the 9v power source, but it has made no difference. I can - and have - burned the 2732's without it. I've tried it on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, and a new XP machine I built for legacy stuff I still use.
eta
it is likely that I got the 2532's from Marco.
