Re: HP 3325A What ROMS?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

John,

?

I don¡¯t know of any source of the Synertec EPROM data.? The person I helped with this problem in 2013 ultimately removed his chips and installed the two chips referred to in the link below.? IIRC, one of the problems with the ¡®direct replacement¡¯ approach was finding chips that were, in fact, direct pin for pin compatible.

?

With the ¡®two chip¡¯ approach, you wind up with a board that is ¡®original¡¯, sort of, since it was one of the ¡®original options¡¯ for the unit.? And, it is relatively straight forward, not requiring building any additional circuitry, with issues of ¡®timing¡¯, etc.

?

?

Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help.

?

Good luck.

?

Sorry to connect up to this thread. tried to make a new one but Yahoo no
longer recognizes my id and wont let me post
new thread
Been following the 3325A threads as I think I have a ROM issue with
mine, but have looked at all the referenced
threads and cant find mine there
My printed manuals including the Hp cross references are currently
under a 4 ft pile of manuals etc after a 6 shelved cheap bookshelf
collapsed and threw everything on the floor ... had been Ok for the last
3 years, but gave up under the weight last night, so apologies for
asking stuff I may have been able to find otherwise... its over 40Deg C
in there at the moment as were having a continual heatwave her in West
Australia
and I cant even breath properly in that room.right now

3325A S/N 1748A03039 OPTION 1 Bought at local auction 5 years ago

4 X ROMS soldered in Probably Synertec (Large square "S")

U1
7941E
C51030
Hp No 1818-0702

U2
7932E
C51031
Hp No 1818 -0703

U3
8007E
C51032
Hp No 1818 -0704

U4
7952E
C51243
Hp No 1818-9705

The "5" after the C is definitely a Five, not a Y

Q: can you point me to where I can find mod info for these chips
replacements please?
Have downloaded ( start Jun 3rd 2013) 3325A collection as directed ,
but don't see anything relevant to my chip set there

Symptoms are: crazy randomized LED display constantly randomly repeating.

Previous work done:
Replaced On/Off switch
Replaced all ribbon interconnects with made up ones as originals
separated (All connections checked out OK ....big job)
Replaced a (wire wound!!) output resistor from a previous "repair" with
original HF type.
All PSU voltages correct with ripple within specs
Had been working fine until a few months ago
Thanks for your time

John
