BeeProg Clone

[SunRise]

Does anybody have any experience with these? If you use software > 2.67c it wiped the PIC.

I have one of these (still working)

Obviously the software cannot be updated.

In the repair files on this forum, there are also 3 EEPROMS (24c02)

Some questions:

1) Does reprogramming the EEPROMS stop the latest software from detecting it as a clone?
2) Are they tied to the internal EEPROMS of the PIC? i.e. if the PIC is still working ... can the 3 EEPROMS just be programmed?
3) I read some reports about people with an error EC:19, EC:E2, EC:E6 etc. What did people do to get these errors? and how did they get around it?

1) Reprogramming the eeproms make your programmer to be functional again and the latest software still detect the unit as a clone.
2) As far as I know the pic is independent from eeproms.
3) I don't know.

But what I am reading is only the PIC gets erased? If so why are we also reprogramming EEPROMS? Or is that mis-information?
