As there still was warranty, I returned my STE to the shop. Then they sent it to a specialized company. AFAIK they changed something in t...

Re: Writing ROMs for the Falcon

I'm not familiar with all the adapters pictured (on eBay) that come with the XGecu TL866II Plus. Do any of those allow to be fitted over plcc's mounted to a board (clip over) so they can be read?
