@dml id use the et4000ax first, try the T4 driver.
Then I think the Hercules may be an et4000w32i if you're lucky

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
Re: dml attempts a Raven
Thanks! I'll try them in that order 
Yep it will be nice if the Diamond card works. It has some very poor looking rework on the topside which I intend to fix but I'll test it before any changes. Hopefully its both OK and can be used.
I'm looking at fitting the Pi Pico to the ROM programmer just now. The type of Pi I have is a little different from the one shown - it has the 3 debug pins at the end and I see there are header holes on the programmer for those 3 pins. Presumably those should be connected?
I'll take a look through the github repo again before moving (been very busy this week to sit and read anything) but it would be good to know that I don't need a special Pi variant before figuring that out too late...

Re: dml attempts a Raven
You don't need to connect the three pins on the end, just the two lots of 20ish pins.

Re: dml attempts a Raven
Pro tip - don't mix up the bottle of ISO you use for washing flux from desoldered ICs with the bottle of ISO you use for cleaning your desk ring-light magnifier...

Re: dml attempts a Raven
Yeah I did end up with some anonymous strips hanging around afterwards and got a bit paranoid. But you can poke sharp probes through the film and check them without taking them outsety wrote: Sat Jun 28, 2025 1:38 pm Ouch! Those unlabeled caps too, what a nightmare haha.

Re: dml attempts a Raven
I was this years old before I found out that the shade of the SMD cap means something. For decoupling, the tan ones are in the right range.
I built the CKBD with no idea what value they were but it works just fine.

Re: dml attempts a Raven
As usual, I have only x1 of something that I need x3 of - and even finding that made a giant mess of my place!

Re: dml attempts a Raven
Could the chips not be programmed in a normal programmer?
