Hi -
Let's first check the chip - is it a MicroChip 93LC65B/P ??
If not, what is the Part Number printed on the chip ?
If so, please don't be offended, but are you sure you're
inserting it with the proper orientation ?

modules and ·I got the same ·thing "EEpro failed.. I think it maybe the
cable, I waiting to get a new cable I'll let you guys know how it turns out

I had the same problem. In my case the chip was not seated all the way in
the socket. After seating the stamp all the way in the socket it worked.
restart your computer to the MS-DOS opperating system.

P.S make sure you are using fresh batteries.

Felix -
Here are some things which may help.
Hardware -
Sometimes the power provided at the port of a laptop is insufficient,
particularly if running in BATTERY mode. If you are using batteries
as the sole power, switch to using the adapter or docking port.
If you have a voltmeter handy, I'd check the voltage at the port.
Pins 2 and 25 at the port should show a voltage during Stamp programming
check to see what that is.
The cable, whether hand-made or purchased, should be wired as shown
in the MANUAL:
· OEM BS1 PCI to PC Parallel Port Pin 2 (D0)
· OEM BS1 PCO to PC Parallel Port Pin 11 (Busy)
· OEM BS1 Vss to PC Parallel Port Pin 25 (Gnd)
Software-
STAMP.EXE is the appropriate program for programming the PBASIC Stamp BS-1.
This is a DOS program and must be run in DOS mode, there is NO WINDOWS
Editor for the BS-1.
General -
Make sure all ICs are properly socketed, and PIN 1 is oriented properly.
Check all solder joints thoroughly for possible poor connections.
Make SURE all design notes have been considered, as outline in the
OEM BS-1 MANUAL.
Lastly, I suspect the posts to which you make reference may have been
speaking of the serial port and BS-2 Stamp programming.
Hope that gets it back on track for you.
