NAME
flash - in-situ 29F040 flash ROM programmer for N8VEM, Zeta and N8 computers
SYNOPSIS
flashz
flashn8
DESCRIPTION
The flashz and flashn8 erase and program the FLASH ROM chip from an
image file. flashz is used for the N8VEM Z80-SBC and Zeta computers.
flashn8 is used with the N8 home computer. Both function the same
except in the way memory is addressed.
flash expects a 512k file in the same directory containing the image
that will be programmed into the ROM. This file must have the
unimaginative filename of ROM.IMG. The whole process of erasing and
programming the ROM takes less than a minute - far less than the time
taken to upload your new image.
This program is only suitable for 29F040 512k FLASH ROMs.
Assemble with TASM using the command
tasm -t80 -g3 flashz.asm flashz.com
tasm -t80 -g3 flashn8.asm flashn8.com
JUMPERS
The following jumpers must be in place on the boards to allow the
29F040 to be programmed.
For the N8VEM Z8-SBC MK-II: K1 1-2, K6 2-3, K8 2-3
For the N8: K3 1-2, K4 2-3, K5 2-3
For the Zeta, no jumpers need (or can) be set.
