Programming problem

The ones beginning with g are probably gerber files (PCB related)

The ones beginning with d and t are probably CNC drill files (PCB related)

Not sure about the others, perhaps aperture files for each PCB layer. We have used RS274X for so long I've forgotten what the older stuff looks like.

Bottom line, I don't think there is any program file on there- that seems to be a set of PCB manufacturing (not design) files. Motorola sometimes uses a different extension from .hex for object files, BTW.

If there is no hexadecimal file, it is probably a small binary file. My first guess would be .abs for absolute image. View the files and throw out any containing text that wouldn't be a text string in the program binary.

I'd have expected a .s19 file for a moto part.

Is the .txt file readable (ASCII)? What does it say? Any of the other files in ASCII? What do they look like? Each line of an Intel HEX file begins with a colon (":"). Each line of an S19 file begins with the letter 'S'. See if anything looks like that.

I have seen binary files with the .abs extension (for "absolute) before. That might be worth a try. But only if you can't find ASCII data.

Those look to me like Gerber photoplot files, and other files used in PCB manufacturing, probably produced by Protel. I would expect all of them to be ASCII text, except the .drl file. The .drr file will contain a report of hole sizes and quantities used on the board.

You are possibly the victum of a practical joke. These are all gerber files, for manufacturing the printed circuit board.

If nobody knows where the hex file is, do a search on *.hex on the entire companies server/network whatever. For starters ;-)

Thanks for all the help Guys. Dave.

have you tried reading a programmed Chip with the Dataman?
