Hi list
As I lost any kind of hope to find a Simmons EPB to buy, I´ve decided to lookin for an alternative. Yesterday I saw this device on EBAY US.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOP853-USB-universal-programmer-EPROM-MCU-GAL-PIC-/330467368504?_trksid=m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6899369431696068324..
I think it could be work in the same way than a EPB do. It means, it could burn eproms to use them with my SDS7, SDS9, ETC...
The only problem would be ,according Ed told me ,( thanks again, Ed Wolfgang and Jesper) that I should convert my audio files to 8 bit files.
Anyone have any idea how to do that?, And what kind of device I would need to do?
Any advice is welcome
Thanks in advance
