You need a PROM burner. It can read the old chip and then program a new one.

This is what I use:

Or maybe you could get someone on here that does there own chips to copy it , burn a new chip, and send it to you.. That would probably be cheaper unless you think you will use the burner again sometime...WW

Are you looking for a 27SF512 for a Moates-style plug-in adapter or OEM-style chip?

I have a BURN2 chip burner for the 512 chips.

Note to CF: I think this person just jumped in looking for his own chip...on a 10-yr-old thread. Meaning it's a current request.
