When you load the image make sure you choose. I found that while you can attached a power supply on the burner it is not required. Next we’ll make a voltage check to see if the burner has all voltages in order to properly burn the EPROM. Make sure you choose either AM27C400 or 27C400.Ģ. first step is to select the device, or the EPROM to burn. Make sure that there is no EPROM put in.ġ. When you connected the burner and installed the software we can start. The latest version as of this writing is 7.21. That is a) the burner software itself named “GQUSBprg”. Then you need to download the software for the burner. Here is a picture of the device with attached adapter board with an EPROM inside. You shouldn’t pay more than €150 for the GQ-4×4, the adapter board and the eraser. Sometimes there are good offers at Amazon or eBay for a complete package (except the EPROMs). – and certainly a ROM image you want to burn. – for burning ROMs for A1200/A4000 you need 27C800 / AMD27C800 roms, two of them to burn one ROM. I found the following to work which can be ordered in eBay: AMD27C400 – an UV eraser, which can erase the EPROMs, in case something goes wrong. – to program the EPROMs used in an Amiga you have to get a 16-Bit 40/42 pin ZIF adapter board for the burner:ĪDP-054 16 Bit EPROM 40/42 pin ZIF adapter I have chosen the low cost GQ-4×4 USB programmer. Here I want to show how it works to burn it yourself.

Either you can buy the ROM, have someone burn it or burn it yourself. Or if you have no accelerator at all you can’t do maprom either. For instance the A3440 card can’t do maprom.

Maprom is probably preferred, because it’s more flexible, but not always possible. With the release of the latest AmigaOS version (3.1.4) the package you could buy included ROM images to be used for either maprom (depending on your accelerator card tool support) or for burning it to a ROM.
