How to use the EEPROM burners.

Start up the burner program:
c:\pilot.gcc\spee

It brings up a blue display with a psuedo-menu bar across the top.
The important menu options are Config, File, and PROM(device).
To go into a menu, press return, to back up from one, press escape.

Within File->Name, Directory, and Load are the most important.

Name lets you input the name of you hex file.  It will show the current
file in the bottom left hand corner.  

Directory lets you display all files with a certain mask, say *.hex,
and then use the arrows to choose one.

Once a file name is choosen you have to load it!  Move with the arrows 
(or press l) to load.  It then asks you for a buffer, 0-9.  Pick one, 
but remember it.  0 is always fine, and the easiest to pick, just hit 
return.  A display showing the status of loading comes up, and a flashing
"wait" in the upper right hand corner appears until it's done loading.
>From here, hit escape to get back to the "main" menu.  You're ready
to burn.  

Go to PROM(device).  It will prompt you for a buffer, use the one you loaded
into (hit return for 0).  It then goes through a process of programming and
varification.  You'll hear an audible click when it is done, and it will
say done in the upper right hand corner.

The Config is important because, you have to make sure you're programming the
correct type of device.  We all used Intel 28F256A.  I'm sure AMD 28F256 
would have worked just as well.  The current type of device it thinks it is 
programming is displayed 2 lines above the filename: line, like so:

Device type: Intel 28F256A
Set size: (#0-#0) (not exact here, I'm not sure what this is...)
Filename: b:\example.hex

Once the correct device is specified, save it (also in the config menu, hit V)
and don't worry about it, until someone else changes it.
