god910 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 The chip is always soldered in. Don't really know what you are trying to get at here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I have a topgun chip, but not a memcal. I need the memcal to put my chip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 How do you have a chip and no MEMCAL? I wasn't aware that Jeff sold the chips w/o MEMCALs. Or did you have someone make a copy for you? Either way, what soldering iron do you plan on using? I can't find one small enough to get in there (for less than $100 that is.)

no1kicker Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Well, I bought one from a member on this board. It came w/o the memcal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Well if you indeed did buy a "chip" w/o a MEMCAL that seems a little odd. (Jay steps away from the keyboard.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idbeast Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 The Chip is a ripped off copy of jeff's chip if it is a Top gun chip. He has never sold one that was not soldered in!!! (Jim steps away from the keyboard.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Yeah, if it's not soldered in a memcal and it's the eprom only then it's probably a bootleg chip. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Jim steps away from the keyboard.) Chill out there buddy...The chip was bought from jeff, even he will tell u that...so no, its not some ripped off copy from jeff.

dkorinko Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Yeah, if it's not soldered in a memcal and it's the eprom only then it's probably a bootleg chip. :x Over 23 chips were used for my car, why would ya need 23 memcals???? Thats why the chip is not in a memcal. because when a new one would come it was just placed in the same memcal, instead of buying a new memcal every time...get it?

no1kicker Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 The memcal you used, was it originally soldered to a chip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'm guessing you have a ZIF socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 That makes sense as it would be a big waste of time to keep soldering in new chip. I have a little adapter that I use so that I never even have to remove the eprom from the memcal, and my UVeraser is an industrial one that I got off of ebay and it can fit over 15 memcals in it!! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 My eraser is software. Just EEPROM's for me. When I get this WB02 built I will be stacking a 1 meg chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Ok, so what is the best way to get this chip in? I can't seem to find a memcal that doesn't already have a chip in it. Should I just try to unsolder and put in? Get an adapter? Something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 You could do an adapter, but I would (and am) put a ZIF socket in there. That way you can switch the chip as you please, w/ no adapters needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
