4.3 Connecting an EPROM Programmer to the PG
The PGs have an integrated EPROM programming interface. If
you are using a PC as a PG, you can connect an external EPROM
programmer. Various devices are available for connection to the
parallel or serial port.
The device connected to the parallel port is known as the “external
prommer”, the device connected to the serial COM port is simply
called “prommer”.
Port: LPT 1
The cable for the parallel connection is supplied with the “external
prommer”. The external prommer has a connection which extends
the parallel port for a parallel printer.
Port: COM 2 or other COM port
The prommer does not have to be connected to operate the PC. The
prommer is supplied with an instruction manual which you should
read before installing and using the prommer.
To set a different COM port (the default value is COM 2), use the
program S5DRV.EXE (see section 2.3).
