Caution on use of general-purpose ROM writer
When data is transferred from a personal computer to a general-purpose ROM writer, data is not transferred
to the ROM memory mounted on the ROM writer. Data is transferred to the RAM built in the ROM writer.
After transferring the data to the ROM writer using the DU/WIN software, make sure to write the data stored
in the built-in RAM to the EPROM memory.
In the same way, when data is transferred from the ROM writer, the data saved in the EPROM memory
should be preliminarily read to the built-in RAM.
