A little OT as I'm not actually trying to repair this set, rather draw on
the experience of others who've had experience with similar Sharp sets to
identify the SST 37VF010 chip.

The chip had a paper label stuck on it suggesting factory
programming/firmware etc, but it looks suspiciously like a regular flash
eprom, a google turned up a number of potential suppliers but no
definitive description of what it is and no data sheets - can anyone
furnish any info?

TIA.


Ian. Did you see that TeleMag has been relaunched ?

Yes - its available through 3 distributors that I don't have an account
with or direct at a price that's taking the **** or emagazine (non-PDF) to
stop pirating that is in a presentation that is such a PITA to read that
they couldn't sell it to me at any price, and cannot be saved to local
HD - so its like beer, you don't buy it you only rent it!

That is unacceptable.


They sent me a copy in the 'electronic' format, and I must admit that I
struggled to read the 'grey' print, and didn't really like the "turny page"
format. Mind you, I have never liked on-line books and mags, any more than I
like computerised service manuals ...

They sent me a paper one as well for issue 2, but whether that will carry on
as a 'regular' contributor, I'm not sure. The "Faults" section still seems
to be settling down in format terms, so whether they will find space to
carry copy from me every month, I don't yet know. Still, it's nice to see it
back again, in largely the same format as it was previously, and I hope the
new owner manages to make a commercial success of it. The reason that it is
not in the shops BTW, is that distributors WH Smith want so much money, that
there is no way that a startup or small-circulation mag can afford them.
This was a great deal to do with the demise of T @ H, which failed
financially, despite the sterling efforts of all involved. Shame as I
thought it had great potential.
