Re: Stag/GP CP30 EPROM Programmer
I had an Elan programmer from the same period bought from new at an enormous cost. 'Term' is the answer and it will also use a simple file transfer protocol to download files but its too long ago for me to remember the name.

Re: Stag/GP CP30 EPROM Programmer
Yes, weren't these devices costly new!
Actually, since most of the output file formats are text-based (eg intel hex), any simple terminal program (hyperterminal, term, RealTerm - my favourite) set to "capture" will work. The old xmodem/ymodem etc protocols were excellent for transferring binary files intact but aren't needed or used by the CP30. Text capture (to a notepad .txt file) has worked fine for me and enabled me to send firmware versions from 1970s test equipment to other electronics dabblers, for them to blow locally.

Re: Stag/GP CP30 EPROM Programmer
A blast from the past. I recall having a Stag 'gang banger' to burn piles of EPROMS we supplied to EMI who were building the Sinclair QL in Feltham. Very often we got a call to say "software upgrade, erase them all. New master PROMS will be handed over tonight" A Quantum fLop !

Re: Stag/GP CP30 EPROM Programmer
Last night I checked my old archived software, as in the past I used Stag programers at work, and I owned a more basic one I used at home. This consisted of a PC board, ribbon cable and external cream metal box with a single zif socket. It would function as a copier, controlled by Stag's PC software, or would copy the eprom contents to a file that could be blown later. Alas, none can be found.

Re: Stag/GP CP30 EPROM Programmer
I am about to change the Akku Pack in my CP30, can you please send me the manual and the software? I have at the moment nothing, only the CP30 and I hope you can help me.
The input voltage must be 18V or is this wrong too? I hope you can help me and I will today fix the Akku Pack and test it. If anyone needs a CP30 Akku too please contact me as I think I can fix another one too ;-) Nice Sunday here out of Germany from Jürgen. |

Re: Stag/GP CP30 EPROM Programmer
I really don't know but it's worth sending him a messaage to see if he can help.
Or try stag.co.uk and see if Prashanta Paul has anything. I only have a home number for John Richards. Pm me if you need it. - Jeremy
