ABI's PC-based Micro Universal EPROM Emulator / ROM Emulator System (µU-REM) is aimed at a broad range of ROM based programs and data including embedded systems, BIOS, video games, robotics, printer drivers, graphics controllers, postscript interpreters, character font libraries, and other ROM based applications. The emulator is used during program and data development stages to eliminate the frustration of repeated EPROM burn-erase cycles. The emulator easily plugs in place of the ROM through the emulator's target adapter. Both professionals and novice program developers will find the µU-REM a valuable tool. Our Basic System comes complete with target adapters to emulate all popular 8 and 16 bit ROM's (EPROM, PROM, FLASH, EEPROM) with nothing more to buy.

The major differentiators of the µU-REM are download time, expandability, and capacity. It takes less than two seconds to download a 1-MByte program through a dedicated interface card rather than the slower parallel port or serial port used by other PC-based emulators. Our open-ended target interface design can easily accommodate special adapters to plug directly in place of ROM cartridges or other requirements. When the need for larger emulation space arises, simply add additional memory to the existing memory card (up to 8-MBytes per unit), an additional memory card, or combine multiple units.

The µU-REM includes software, an 8 bit ISA interface card (XT or better), a desktop unit with portable plug-in memory card, and adapters for 8 & 16 bit ROM devices. The software provides: instantaneous viewing and editing of any address range or individual bytes, modification and monitoring of I/O lines, verification of data during downloads and uploads, and automatic splitting of 16/32/64 bit files. µU-REM supports 8 & 16 bit data widths (2716, 27C512, 27C800, 27C4096...) with capacity to 8-Mbytes (64-Mbits). Two memory card types are available: the basic card comes with 256-KBytes (2-Mbits) of RAM and can be expanded in 256-KByte increments to 2-Mbytes (16-Mbits), the higher capacity card comes with 1-MBytes (8-Mbits) of RAM and can be expanded in 1-MByte increments to 8-MBytes. The µU-REM can be configured for demanding high end applications as well as smaller emulation requirements.
