Where are you located? I can read, archive, and program these chips if you would like.
These chips are supported by BP Micro Programmers including the BP 1410 and BP 1600 and later programmers. They are likely supported by other programmers I have but I do not have access to my 'usual' resources to be able to verify this.
Sometimes, you can find these older programmers at very reasonable prices but you would need a WinXP computer with a parallel port to be able to use them. The later programmers, with a '10', such as the 1610, connect with USB and would have software that would support a later version of Win.
I'm happy to help if I can. I'm in NW FL USA.

[email protected]Subject: [TekScopes] Which programmer to use to read/write dallas DS1486?
Dear all,
I will have to replace the dallas chips (DS1486/DS1650) of my TDS684A.
I have ordered the replacement kits (not fake China chip) from a source I have found in EEVBlog.
While I wait, I have dowloaded the contents of the chips to a floppy using a tool that does that.
My question is about the next step.
I intent to read the chips (just in case) and I will have to write one image to them.
I currently have a TL866A and a GQ-4X, but I have seen posts that say that neither programmers will work.
I can¡¯t afford spending $500 or more in another programmer.
Is there any consensus out there if any of these can be used?
Any special recommendation about programming. Which chips should be used as ¡°target device¡± for the DS1486 and the DS1650?
Thank you
