Default Re: Reading PROMs with a Raspberry Pi

If you (or anyone else) decides to have a play I really recommend not using plug-in breadboard with the typical spindly round 'Arduino jumpers' which are widely and cheaply available, they are just too frustratingly unreliable. I think ScottishColin had the same experience when he was trying to read his PET 2001N PROMs with an Arduino Mega.

You could try 'Dupont' female (at the Raspberry Pi end) to 'Dupont' male (at the device end) on breadboard as they may be a better friction fit, and their square body shape helps them to support each other when they are inserted into adjacent holes or onto adjacent pins.
