Except processors with mask set D47J. EWS unit equipped with this processor has read protection, attempt of reading the processor with this mask set results EEPROM data loss. To recover the data in EWS3 unit with processor (D47J) use the function [ Reset to factory defaults ]
Checking of MOTOROLA processor mask set which is used in some EWS units
Before proceed to reading of EWS data using the function [ EWS Read ]
Read the marking (maskset) plotted on processor (picture):
1. Mask set D47J -old versions of EWS1, EWS2 and EWS3 hw:2 sw:5. Refer to #Recovering of EWS
2. Mask set D46J -new versions of EWS3 and EWS3+. This processor does not contain unpleasant
surprises, refer to [ EWS Read ]
