Shouldn't have any problem reformatting them. Just get 'em this-a-way and I'll fix 'em up for you.

Did you erase the chip with Phoenix software (select the number of positions in the software first). It will ask you to make sure you are in position #1. After a few it will ask to switch to pos. #2 and so forth. After it's erased all the positions selected activate the Program button. It will ask you to make sure you are in position #1. Switch it back to #1 and then click OK. It will now ask for the file. After a few it will ask to switch to pos. #2 and so forth.

I have had to resolve a problem chip by erasing it with Sniper "first" then follow the above directions.

Tried it both ways, no good. The problem is it does not read it as a multi position chip, so it will not even get to the erase screen. It will read it as a "single" chip. I was able to burn a file on position one tho.

I have the same problem with the PhoenixFlash as you (I am also using a Sniper-branded burner). If I try to program a chip with PhoenixFlash after building it in Minotaur, then I get the "not a multi position module" error. If I use Delta Force to open the Minotaur files and then save them (so it saves as an encrypted ".pcm" file) I can use the Sniper burning application to program the chip.

When I try to bring a bin. file over to sniper I cant. It just doesn't show up when looking for it? Its hay time now so I haven't had a chance to mess with it to much, but once the hay is bailed I hope to have time to figure out why!

Here is the "Diagnostic Information". The chip you sent me works fine, so I think it is in the sniper chips. If its cool with you I will send you both of them and see if you can reformat them. Thanks for all the help guys!

When you attempt to find a file in Sniper, you have to change the ".pcm" to "all files" in the lower window. Then you'll see it.

I wonder if the Sniper burners use a different method of identifying a multi-position chip. As I understand it, they are all supposed to be the same except for the ID numbers but maybe there's something I'm missing.

Anyway, like I said... If you want to send me any chips you are having issues with, I'll be happy to fix them for you.

Take care.
