Eprommer help
I just got a eprommer 6, so what is next to program a chip. It looks like the chip is soldered into the socket. Is there any other program I need in order to program.

You need a bin editor. There are many out there, try tunerpro. I use it and its free. You will need (or want) blank eproms as spares. You can remove the stock chip, or buy an adapter that bypasses the stock chip and reads an additional chip through a separate socket. I would leave your stock chip alone, as an unaltered "backup". Chips can be purchased from Futurlec.com for pretty cheap.
You can read a chip using the Epromer software, then save the file. Open it in tunerpro, make changes if you desire, then save it under a new name. Make notes as to what you changed, and correlate it to your new file name, maybe in notedpad or word. Then open the file in the epromer software, and write it to the chip. Your chip must be blank first to write, and you will need an eprom eraser to do so. To write with the epromer, blank check, then write, then verify. Thats it.
You can also skip the first few steps if you download a bin file to start with, rather than read what you have. Read the code off your chip and ask for it on the web, or search for it. There are many bin library's on the web that will have your bin file.
