5.1.4 Silicon Disk Loader
The program SDLOAD.EXE is used to load the silicon disk with the prepared data records. This
loader must be applied for FLASH-PROMs and for PEROMs. FLASH-PROMs can only be deleted
complete and are also completely written again with this program. For PEROMs the number of
write cycles is very restricted. When transferring files with a standard DOS copy program, certain
sectors, especially in the directory area, would be very often re-written, through which the durability
of the components would be reduced very. Also in this case a complete data transfer, where every
sector is written only once, is efficient.
The program SDLOAD is called in MS-DOS as follows:
[c:][path]SDLOAD
whereby in [c:][path] are included the drive and the path of the SDLOAD program.
After the program call, the following list of components is displayed on the screen.
Following FLASH-PROMs or EEPROMs/PEROMs can be programmed:
1 Am28F010-150,P28F010-150
2 Am28F020-150,P28F020-150
3 Am28F040-150,P28F040-150
4 AT28C010-150
5 AT28C040-150
6 AT29C010-150
7 AT29C040-150
8 AT29MC010-150
9 AT29MC040-150
