====== Willem ======
Burning EPROMs using willem based programmers.

===== Shopping List =====
You will need:
  * PC with a IBM parallel port
  * Willem based programmer
  * Power supply (optional, see below)
  * EPROM, UV or electronic erasable
  * Network card with a ROM socket or ROM-card so you can use/test your new burned EPROM\\

  * Operating system that can run Windows 32bit programs
  * Programmer software (look on your programmers homepage)

===== Setup =====
==== Hardware ====
Connect your programmer to your computer and a power supply.

"I would recommend that you use a external power supply, a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_wart|wall wart]], instead of USB when given the choice. My experience is that EPROMs needs more power than USB can provide" --- //[[wiki:user:ghstwlf|Pär Moberg]]//

An erased EPROM

==== Software ====
=== Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP ===
Extract/install the programmer software and start programming

=== Linux ===
Install [[http://www.winehq.org/|Wine]]

== Wine ==
Wine is usually included in the packet repository of your distribution but the latest development releases for the big dists can be found at [[http://www.winehq.org/download/]] with good instructions.

== Wine prefix ==
A wine prefix is usefull to make for the programmer software since its needs is quite specific. It will be needed to run in Win9x mode and not in a WinNT/NT derivative mode. It also need a registry hack.

"In this tutorial I will be using the folder **EPROM** under my home directory to setup wine in" --- //[[wiki:user:ghstwlf|Pär Moberg]]//

**Warning:** treat everything you have to type inside this tutorial as case-sensitive.

First make a folder and go to it in a terminal window\\
Now, to make Wine aware of that this is a prefix we need to export this directory to environment as WINEPREFIX\\
''export WINEPREFIX=$PWD''\\
And to check that it worked\\
''echo $WINEPREFIX''\\
It should return the full path-name of your folder.

Now lets populate this folder with some useful stuff.\\
''wineboot''\\
This will fill the $WINEPREFIX-folder with a basic wine system.\\
''winecfg''\\
Now you have started the wine configuration tool and only thing we have to do here is to change windows-version to Windows 98\\
''wine regedit''

Inside of the register editor add the ''VDM'' key and then the ''ppdev'' key inside it.\\
Add the Sting named ''378'' with the value ''/dev/parport0'' (if /dev/parport0 is your parallel port)

if you export ''ppdev'' using the register editor, the contents of the file should look something like this:\\
''REGEDIT4\\
\\
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Wine\VDM\ppdev]\\
"378"="/dev/parport0"''

Now download/copy your programmer software to $WINEPREFIX-folder and extract it if necessary.
