so bus 1, dev 25 is Full speed (12M).
2019-05-19: I should test the programmer again (under Debian this time) and list out supported chips. And also see if the firmware version can be updated.
2018-08-31: all the software is now GitLab now, see links above.
2017-07-06: try to read a Mostek MK37013P - perhaps this is a PROM version of a 2764?

got something

nope, only 0xff's in the file.
2017-07-06: try to read a AM2764-45DC chip
[tingo@localhost work]$ sudo minipro -p "AM2764A @DIP28" -r tdv22xx_u32_am2764-45dc.bin Warning: firmware is too old Found Minipro TL866CS v03.2.58 Invalid Chip ID: expected 0x108, got 0xa7c2 (use '-y' to continue anyway at your own risk)
ok, that didn't work. with '-y' then
[tingo@localhost work]$ sudo minipro -p "AM2764A @DIP28" -r tdv22xx_u32_am2764-45dc.bin -y Warning: firmware is too old Found Minipro TL866CS v03.2.58 WARNING: Chip ID mismatch: expected 0x108, got 0xa7c2 Reading Code... OK
what did we get?
[tingo@localhost work]$ ll *bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8192 Jul 6 00:54 tdv22xx_u32_am2764-45dc.bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2048 Jul 6 00:17 tdv22xx_u33_nec_d2716d.bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2048 Jul 6 00:18 test2.bin
we got something, and the strings in it is something I recognize.
2017-07-06: try to read a Nec D2716D with the minipro tool:
[tingo@localhost work]$ sudo minipro -p "AM2716B @DIP24" -r test2.bin Warning: firmware is too old Found Minipro TL866CS v03.2.58 Reading Code... OK
well, it did read something. But the file is only 2K
[tingo@localhost work]$ ll -h *bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0K Jul 6 00:18 test2.bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0K Jul 6 00:17 test.bin
hmm, ok - it seems the D2716D is a 2K part.
2017-07-06: I plug the programmer into my Toshiba laptop, which runs Fedora 25:
[tingo@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) [tingo@localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 4.11.6-201.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 20 20:21:11 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
the programmer shows up as
[tingo@localhost ~]$ lsusb -d 04d8:e11c Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04d8:e11c Microchip Technology, Inc. TL866CS EEPROM Programmer [MiniPRO]
nice.
2017-07-04: package contents: 1 x programmer in a small, quite heavy plastic case - gives a solid impression. The case is screwed together with four small philips screws on the bottom. 1 x standard USB-A to USB-B cable, 1 x mini CD-ROM.
2017-07-04: tracking showed that the package had arrived, so I picked it up from PIB Extra Trondheimsveien in the evening.
2017-06-16: I got a "package shipped" message.
2017-06-15: I ordered a MiniPro TL866CS from a seller on eBay. Price including shipping was USD 37.29, which is about NOK 330.- and estimated delivery: Tue. Jun. 27 - Wed. Jul. 19.
