A little frustrating. Out of the last 4 parts I have attempted to read, not one seems to be supported but all are within families that are supported and support the exact same commands. But because FlashcatUSB reads the CHIP ID and doesn't recognize it, I can't do anything. Why can't we select a device family that we absolutely know is compatible?
I love the form factor and the software for this device and I have spent over $150 on the Xport, PCB 4.0, and several adapters but so far I cannot read a single device I have attempted to read.
Yes, I know there is a compatiblity list, but I didn't know every part number I was going to try to read up front and for those that I did, silly me figured I would be able to select a chip family manually to override the auto detect like programmers I have had before.
Please add this device and consider allowing manual override or some other mechanism for devices within the same family that are compatible in future versions of the software. They are simply way too specific. Is that necessary with the way FlashcatUSB operates? Maybe there is something I don't understand, but a 128K device in the same family as a 64K device but only the 64K is specifically supported so you can't read the 128K seems strange to me. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Maybe there is a way? Help!
