Hi All,
Bumping an old topic here....
and maybe the repair attempt has been given up on....not sure?
However, just in case not.....
I've been doing a lot of work with M-SYSTEMS DiskOnChip 2000 devices over the past few years. I have compiled everything that I've learned, including manuals and software links onto a devoted Web page on my Hobby Website for archiving purposes. It seems that the information on M-SYSTEMS DiskOnChips is slowly disappearing. So I wanted to archive what I could for future users.
http://www.digital-circuitry.com/MyLAB_IC_PROG_DISKONCHIP.htmAnyhow, the reason I am posting.....
A couple years ago I managed to acquired a very rare official M-SYSTEMS GANG Programmer.
The earlier REV "B" model that runs a special M-SYSTEMS DOS program for automating the duplication of DOC's from a MASTER chip as the source.
These little suckers still sell for around $10,000... so I was lucky to locate one at an auction.

I'm wondering if by using the original DOC from this Knitting machine, and running the "COPY" function on this programmer of mine to make a copy onto another working DOC,
if this would make any difference here with the source image? As I was reading in the early posts that the Source DOC that Joanorsky made may have been DUMPED improperly.
Anyhow,
just thought I would mention it in case it may help in some way with such a rare machine?
Here is a video I found on Youtube that shows the same model of DOC programmer I have.
It's in Chinese but it still Demo's the Programmers functions.
