tells me to close the application, re-open without choosing a device. that doesnt work,. its
a 2764. i tried burning the 1st file, then the 2nd, then the third. i see all the code there,
but not sure if thats the right way. i would rather combine into one file, and then burn.

If you have access to a Linux system you can do the combining with
"dd" (one of many choices but it's straightforward).

First we need to know what file types Mike is using.
The proposed solution is OK for binary images, but actually in EPROM
burning it is more common to have HEX files, which have lines containing
an address, a number of bytes, and usually a checksum, all in ASCII HEX.

To combine those files, you would just need to cat them together.


If the OP is using osX I could recommend a little program I use quite a
bit - burning EPROMs many times a week - called Synalyze It! Pro. Easy
to merge files, do checksums of various levels of complexity and compare
binaries.

Here is the free version:

And I do recommend buying the Pro. I know I don't use all the features...
