Datron Wavetek 1281 and 1271 Firmware Revision levels?

[volvo_nut_v70]

Going by XDEVs excellent 1281 article, the 1281 seems to have Rev 3.12 as the newest firmware, the 1271 Rev 2.10

Has anyone have or seen anything newer?

[Arhigos]

yes. mine is 3.14

yes. mine is 3.14

Can you please dump the firmware eprom's and share it with us?

Yeah, sure. But from Xdevs website it seems like i need some sort of custom eeprom adapter, right? Do you know if there is any easier way to dump eeprom, maybe with arduino, or thru GPIB?

I know it is possible to backup the nvram via GPIB, but I've seen nothing that suggests you can also dump the main firmware. I'm thinking you'd need a proper eprom reader. Older 1281's tend to have four 27C512's, newer units have two 27C010's.
Do you have an EPROM reader of any kind with a DIP socket?

i have two 27C010.  I'm pretty sure i can find a compatible socket for that chip. Do you know what the easiest way to dump firmware without any special tools or programmers?
