in tuner cat it says ecm definition file
not compatible and i should use $58

You have to load the $58 code in the upper half, or double load it.
It only uses a 128K image.

How do you run out of 27sf512 chips? They should be good for 10,000+ re-writes. You can bin stack using the MS-DOS "copy /b" command. It does a binary copy.

The Pocket Programmer will recognize the AT29C256 chips. I was programming some with a PP the other day. I think it is the "F" key for flash and then the "8" key for AT29C256. The PP has supported them for a long time. Did you put them in the socket correctly?
