thanks Robert, I know that the EEPROM will overwrite the old stuff and that it will outlast me, but I was wondering if we could at some point completely clear it. I am wondering if we could load a null file and that would clear it?? Anyone with any ideas? (Using Queen > files >Load file) I have written DGTprojects about this, but have not heard from them. There is nothing in any of the help files or FAQ about doing this. regards, Randy On July 17, 2002 at 12:14:07, Robert Ericsson wrote: >On July 17, 2002 at 08:37:30, Randy Adams wrote: > >>Anyone know how (or if) one can clear the EEPROM in the DGT board....make a >>clean slate and start all over?? >>thanks in advance, >>Randy A > >Copied from www.dgtprojects.com > >"Q: Is there a limit to the number of times the internal EEPROM memory can be >used? > >A: It is true that EEPROM devices cannot be written to an unlimited number of >times.
