Hi
We have an odd problem. We need to produce a small serie (~50 Pices) of QL-8x12B-PL68C.
We have mostly all we need some we have
- The chips,
- A PC running with Windos 3.11(with a serial interfave)
- A QP-QL84 with the necessary adapter
- The Sources of the Programming and the CHP file
- The Quickworks software (but the downloaded 9.4.1 version is not installable under 3.11 as described in the old doc, and not supporting a a programmer)
- QuickPro is runnung udner new systems, but probaly not supporting the QP-PL84 (or is it ?)
Is there a way to get the old old old software which was running under windows 3.1 (3.11) just to burn the Chips.
(we could find no-one still having a programming environment for the QL8x12B-0PL68C)
Thenks for hints or help
Ralph
Does QP-PL84 works with QuickPro
Unfortunately, the pASIC1 family was EOL in Jan'2005 and we no-longer have a programmer that supports these devices.
I believe that you would need the designer pro programmer
We can guarantee the quality of if the devices would program successfully, but I found this details on the web

You could also check with the old QuickLogic third-party center in the UK called Action Circuit, in Luton to see if they still have programming equipment.

Ralph is trying to program ~50 QL-8x12B-PL68C chips using vintage tools: he has the chips, programmer, sources, and a Windows 3.11 PC, but the Quickworks 9.4.1 software won’t run on it or support the programmer. He's seeking the original Windows 3.1-compatible software to burn the chips.MIPECAG wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 4:12 pm Hi

Thanks for the information. It’s unfortunate that the pASIC1 family has been EOL for so long, as it makes support and programming increasingly difficult. The suggestion about the Designer Pro programmer is helpful, and checking with legacy service providers like Action Circuit sounds like a good next step. Situations like this really highlight the challenges of maintaining older hardware.Robert wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 11:46 pm Unfortunately, the pASIC1 family was EOL in Jan'2005 and we no-longer have a programmer that supports these devices.
