Hi everyone,
Having play with another STFM that has TOS ver 1.0 installed on 6 Chips, I noticed there is no stock of the 1.4 6 chips so wondered if anyone has some spare?
Any help would be great.

Re: 6 PIN ENGLISH TOS Chips
I'd personally suggest that you look for something like a TL866 Pro and then you can burn your own sets easily. 27C256 eproms are quite readily available, and it's a useful tool to have in the retro arsenal.
Plus if you also buy erasable chips and a simple UV eraser then you can make mistakes comfortably without worrying about ruining the chips.
There are tools like ROMSPLIT and CARTMAN that allow you to split the ROMS up easily with an emulator like Hatari or under Windows.

As I will be only doing this once I don't fancy buying the TL866, but if someone has one in the UK happy to post them over and have them burn them for merubber_jonnie wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 3:39 pm I'd personally suggest that you look for something like a TL866 Pro and then you can burn your own sets easily. 27C256 eproms are quite readily available, and it's a useful tool to have in the retro arsenal.

If you get stuck I could do a set from my store, but I don't think I will have time to do it this week..

Re: 6 PIN ENGLISH TOS Chips
That would be great and no rush, I need to order a couple of bits from your store so if we could add to it that would be great. If I ping you a message when I am ready

Re: 6 PIN ENGLISH TOS Chips
If you're doing it just the once, then I take your point.
Frustratingly, this is something I could do, but won't be able to for at about 3 months as all my workshop stuff is in storage due to a house move.
If you're still in need later in the year, do give me a shout as I'm in the UK, in the meantime I hope you can find some help to do it.

Re: 6 PIN ENGLISH TOS Chips
If you have no luck with the other offers then I can program a set for you (I've already done a few sets for some of my STs)...but if you're happy to get them from the store (and Exxos is prepared to do a set for you!) then that is fine too.
Would have to be at a weekend due to work commitments though!
Edit - also in the UK... North Yorkshire...

Re: 6 PIN ENGLISH TOS Chips
It also depends where you live in the world. Maybe someone closer to you can burn them too?
Re: 6 PIN ENGLISH TOS Chips
I am doing some sets for my store, but no problem of course if you have managed to source them elsewhere meanwhile
