I am rebuilding a second AT&T 6300. I have discovered that the motherboard of this machine was showing parity error's in BANK 0. The RAM in that BANK is 4164-15, which are soldered to the motherboard. As yet, I have only engaged the AT&T system test disk to discover the parity error; but have not discovered which chip(s) are causing the error. I know I can use CheckIt to try to discover the faulty chip. The bottom line here is that if one or more chips are exhibiting a parity error they would have to be removed from the motherboard by desoldering them.
Not relishing the idea of desoldering the chips; I searched and found a second motherboard that I believe I purchased years ago from a computer show. The board was stripped of the CPU, serial, keyboard, timer, EPROMS, removable RAM, and PLA's. Most of the other missing chips I had as I usually keep at least two spares to serve me, should one fail.
I have the GQ-4x4 PROM programmer and UV eraser. I wanted to find out from the forum if the existing PLA's residing on the motherboard mentioned above can be read by the GQ and written to my secondary stock of PLA's?
