Hello all,

Recently I purchased an IM 1010 Universal PROM Programmer, serial number
448. It has one personality module, HAGEN1 1, and one adapter, 512x8. This
is an old programmer (somewhere on the order of 20+ years old), but it still
appears to function. The manual I received with it, however, was basically
just a device support list, and did not contain any operating information.

I opened the device, and lo and behold, an Intel i4040 was inside, along
with some other Intel 42XX chips of that family (MCS-40, I believe). There
were also several TI 2516 EPROMs, some RAM, and discrete stuff. I did not
disassemble the display or keyboard. A serial port is on the back, and the
unit came w/ a serial cable, but I have not hooked it up to my computer yet
.....

I powered it up, and it appears to function. The display lights up, and by
playing with keys I can get address counters on the display to increment,
and I think I can store values in RAM....

- Does anyone have an operations manual for this programmer? I would gladly
pay copying and postage...

- Does anyone have personality modules and adapters that they'd be willing
to part with? :-) Or perhaps schematics for some of them, so I could build
my own? This beast supposedly could program 1702s and 2708s with the right
adapters, so if I could make those, I'd be VERY happy....

Thanks!

Rich B.
