Okay. To dump the EPROM I am assuming that I need an EPROM burner. Do I need a certain type of burner, because I have no clue what type of chip it is?
Here is an excerpt from the manual:
D (Start adr),(End adr (optional)) (cr)
Displays memory in hex from starting address to optional ending address. If no ending address is selected, 256 byte block will be displayed. A CTL-S freezes the output and a second CTL-S causes it to resume. Any other key depressed terminates the displayed output.
I have entered D0000 into the computer and it displays 2 lines of the memory contents. If I type something in with a larger argument it freezes (I first noticed this when I typed in D0000,FFFF, but it does it with much smaller ranges too and with only a start address specified). I have tried CTL-S and the no-scroll button on the terminal but that does not help. I also have tried pressing other keys and it does not return to the prompt. The reason why I think that the cause could be that the EPROM lost some data is because when I use the S command (it dumps one memory location to the screen and allows you to change it) without changing the value, I find some larger blocks of 00 in the returned data. I also double checked and the returned contents from the EPROM end around CA00, not CE00.
I have successfully executed other memory operations such as fill the range of memory with the specified byte. I have not tried the move contents command yet. I did try the run user program command, but it froze. I believe that the reason for that was because I did not have any program at the address I specified.
I have some more news. I was experimenting with the monitor program a bit more, and I found out that if I press the no-scroll button a couple of times, the monitor continues to list the memory contents. Some of the lines though are not completely dumped to the screen and are ended with the gibberish character. Sometimes though, the readout will continue and the console will display some numbers mixed in with the gibberish character. I am not sure if this is a terminal problem or a problem with the monitor program. After that the monitor may act a bit strange, but I believe that it has something to do with pressing the no scroll button. After a while the behavior returns to normal. I do know that it when it does display the memory contents the displyed bytes are correct. I also checked the PSU's output voltage, and it reads 15v. The manual says that it should be 12. That might be a cause for the improper output.
