K5synth

Hi everyone, new updates about the ROM upgrades.

I got the chip last week and successfully programmed one of them a few
minutes ago. It's in one of my K5s and it's working. (Which means I'll
be able to order all the chips shortly) Any new ROM requests are still
accepted.

The other chip I ordered for my 2nd K5, for some reason, got killed by
the programmer, burning two transistors on the programmer itself at
the same time. I suspect that it's caused by the computer that I
initially tried to program the chip with, it was probably sending
strange commands on the parallel port due to the crippled HP printer
drivers. All I know is that I will not try programming ROMs anymore on
that computer.
