New! Windows Software For Model 200

 

Over the years the Model 200 has given good reliable service to thousands of our customers, many of whom do not need the wider device coverage of our Universal Programmer, Pin-Master 48.

The software for the Model 200 is DOS-based and until recently, this has not been a problem. However, more and more customers are finding that as they upgrade their PC operating systems, many DOS programs no longer work, particularly those using serial or parallel ports.

To assist these customers we have developed a version of our Windows based software 'PROMDRIVER' to work with the Model 200, under any Windows environment from Windows 95 onwards. This includes the NT, 2000, and XP versions of Windows. The software has many new features, including integrated file editing.

To use this new package you need to obtain a Registration Code from us. Please ask us, or your distributor, for the price.

To use the Windows version your model 200 must be a 200A, 200B, or 200C variant (not the original 200). It must also be equipped with a parallel interface. A parallel interface also gives a considerable speed improvement.

If you have a serial version it can be converted using the Parallel Option Kit (includes lead) which is available at a special price if purchased together with the software registration.

Features:

  • Same program supports all MQP Programmers
  • Automatic file format recognition from file extension
  • Multiple files open at a time
  • Comprehensive integrated file editing features
  • Fully featured device selector
  • File compare function
  • Script file capability
 
 

PROMDRIVER (PDW) Version 4.81 (19 Jan 2004)

The file which you download is a self-unpacking setup file. To install PROMDRIVER simply run the downloaded EXE file straight from your hard disk (by double clicking on the filename or icon), and follow the on screen instructions.

To use the software you will need to tell us the serial number of the Model 200 and purchase a registration code.

For your convenience the software has the dual function of software update and demonstration version.

To generate your install floppy disk please follow the procedure described below . We strongly recommend that you first print this page for reference during installation.

Model 200

PROMDRIVER (PD) Version 10.57 Firmware Version 6.60

Model 200 software updates are free and can be used immediately. The firmware can be found on the installation floppy, created below, as a binary file called FW200.xxx (where xxx is a version number). You need to program this firmware file into an 8-bit 512kbit EPROM (e.g. 27C512).

The file you download is a self-unpacking zipped file containing all the files required on the installation floppy. To produce the floppy you should run the downloaded .EXE file by typing its name at the MSDOS prompt followed by the parameter for the floppy disk drive. For example if you have downloaded MQP200.EXE (the English language software driver for Model 200) you should log onto the directory you downloaded the file into, place a suitable floppy (preferably HD) into drive A: (or whatever) and type

MQP200 A:

The necessary files will be unpacked into the floppy. Label this installation disk with the program name and version number.

INSTALLATION

Place the floppy in the floppy drive, log onto that drive and type:
INSTALL
at the MSDOS prompt. Then simply follow the on screen instructions.
