Hi Tony
1702's use a different programming algorithm than the
1702A's. Otherwise they work the same. Only a few
1702 were made, making them quite rare. Most have been
melted down for the gold that Intel used in
early packaging.
I'm looking for the non-A types because I have an
old 4004 development system that has a programming
board on it. Of course, the board was designed to do
1702's and not 1702A's. It had a selector to select
another PROM type that looked like it would work but
the signal levels still were not correct. I suspect that
they intend it to work but didn't understand the changes
the chip designers were up to. It does part of the needed
changes but not all.
Thanks
Dwight
