When someone make an EPROM brainware, he must be think of what will he be used to write the program? or in another word, what should he used for the editor? If we just transfer the program from the compiled file, there is no matter at all, but if we want to make some data which is not made by a compiled program, we must used a hex editor. There are many hex editor that we could used, eg. : DEBUG program from DOS, Norton Editor from Norton Utility, PC-Tool Editor, etc...etc...
As usual, I also made my editor too. In the begining, I created this program for my another program that run in DOS mode, ie.: font-editor. (This program was intend to do change the standard BIOS font, and only run in pure DOS, a nice display besides the standard rom characters if you still use DOS environtment). With some modification this program can be used to fill our purpose. The editor accept input as a 1 bit and in the return it could displayed the value in decimal, hexadecimal or binary number. The buffer are design to meet the specification for EPROM type 2764 (2000 Byte) and also have the ability to save and load into disk as a file. So if the inputted work didn't finished yet, it could be continued in another chance. The file have an extension as *.EDF, stand for EPROM Data File, as a default if the extension is not given. You can make another extension if you want. This extension also used in the program LPT paralel port EPROM programmer. So the file can be used for that program too. The editor is look like below
If you think this inputted way not confenience and it is better to inputted in the hex value itself, you can use one of the above hex editor. Its all your decision. Besides that, this program is really free of charge ... enjoy ...
If you find any error about this program, please inform me
