Help with IPAC

<< < (3/4) > >>

ddebuss:
Not sure exaclty what I am remembering this correctly but...

Didn't Andy post some time ago that there is a limit to the number of times the IPAC can be reprogramed?  I don't recall all of the details... Has anyone else heard of this?  Think it has to to with the number of program cycles the flash memory id designed for.

I could be completely wrong, but I'm pretty sure I did read it somewhere.

darkmanx:
i remember andy saying they had a bad batch of eeprom chips...that could be the problem.

JustMichael:
Most eeproms are good for at least 100,000 times of being reprogrammed.  Many are rated for 1 million or more times. Even if the eeprom was only rated for 100,000 times, that would translate into 50 times a day every day for 2000 days (~5 1/2 years).  Will we even have PS/2 and USB ports then?

Zipper:
I'm pretty sure yours aren't functioning correctly. I only flashed the eprom once, and it's remained the same for several months now.
