		<description>It&#039;s possible the FPGA is to blame for your inoperability.  

I used to program Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Arrays in collage.  It&#039;s a basket of digital gates and acts as the primary controller (software, if you will) of the board you have there.  
Xilinx has some software that makes it very easy to read and re-write the contents of these chips (and mod the design of what this board&#039;s function is.)

This might get you on track as to the programming:
http://www.xess.com/prod023.php3  

It&#039;s a student version, but it has FPGA programming capabilities.  The 3030 might need something more powerful as it was a commercially released chip.

This will help you with some understanding of FPGA programming, too:
http://www.cse.scitech.ac.uk/disco/publications/FPGA_overview.pdf

Verilog/VHDL is a common language for FPGAs and is similar to BASIC programming in many respects.  We EE&#039;s love that because most of us are not software engineers, but we all know BASIC from the DOS days :-)</description>

    * The LabTool-48UXP is much faster than its competitors, making it much more productive with today&#039;s high density, multi-megabit memory devices. 
Technological innovation and performance leadership
Device insertion and contact checks--No mistakes!
    * The LabTool-48UXP performs device insertion and contact checks before it programs each device. It can detect poor pin contact and devices inserted upside down or in the wrong position. This function protects your pocketbook by preventing expensive chip damage due to operator error.
EPROM and Flash memory ID detection and Search
    * Many EPROM and Flash memories have a build-in device ID and manufacturer ID. The LabTool-48UXP can read the device&#039;s ID by press hot key to detect the ID and compare its database and determined the chip&#039;s correct vendor and product number. This feature is especially useful with secondhand chips and devices that have had their part number accidentally (or intentionally) removed (this function only applied to 28 pin or 32 pin EPROM and Flash).
Auto-sensing and self-programming
    * To meet mass-production requirements the LabTool-48UXP has implemented new patented technology in both its hardware and software. After entering the Mass-production Mode, the production line operator inserts a device into the ZIF socket. An LED on the LabTool-48UXP indicates the device is ready and the operator simply removes it and replaces it with a new one. No formal training is necessary adding flexibility and saving time and money. In addition, the LabTool-48UXP&#039;s auto-sensing feature ensures the device has been inserted correctly and then automatically programs the device. Furthermore, in the mass-production mode the system keyboard is automatically disabled preventing the operator from making any inadvertent mistakes.
Project file save and load
    * User can create and save a project file which contains device selection, buffer data and all the programming set-up options, this project file can be called upon at any time for future use without having to go through the setting up procedure again, your design file can easily pass to production department without making any mistake.
Serialization function
    * If your memory devices need individual serial numbers with different increment sequence and initial value, the LabTool-48UXP has an Auto Increment function. This simply increments the serial numbers in the buffer each time a new device is inserted. This saves time and money.
User-selectable verify voltage, one or two-pass verification
    * The LabTool-48UXP lets you select the verify voltage after you have programmed the device, e.g., Vcc, Vcc ±5%, Vcc ±10%. The Vcc voltage can be 2.0V to 6.5V. This feature ensures that your device has been programmed properly, preventing failures due to programming errors and ensuring data retention.
Non-DIL device support through versatile converters
    * The LabTool-48UXP&#039;s universal pin driver capability lets it program all 48-pin DIL devices, including all single-chip Micro-controllers, without DIL-to-DIL adapters. However there are many different packages beside DIL package, such as PLCC, SOP, TSOP, QFP and SDIP. We have developed over 100 different adapters to support these special-package devices.
Software update via web
    * The LabTool-48UXP has additional safety features such as a built-in current limit and pin continuity check function. This prevents damage from faulty chips during the programming cycle. Software updates via web .
Universal 44-pin PLCC, QFP, PSOP and TQFP adapter supports 44-pin chip
    * The universal pin driver on the LabTool-48UXP enables you to support all 44-pin chips such as EPLD, EPROM, Flash, EPLD and Micro-controllers. You need only one 44-pin universal adapter which eliminates the need to buy multiple adapters and saves money. Moreover, different package devices within 48 pins will only require one adapter.
Low voltage chip support
    * The LabTool-48UXP support 2.0V ~ 5.0V logic level input/output, and it can supply 2.0V~21V analog voltage (such as VCC). Support lower then 2.7V low voltage chip such as 1.8V also possible by special low voltage adapter on top of its 48 pin ZIF socket.

		<description>The &quot;hacked&quot; version of this device is the &quot;UP-48&quot; which was a discontinued programmer from http://www.up48.com/english_site/product.htm


I have this as well as the updated versions but I find it very expensive to work with as you need to buy $$$ BGA/TSSOP adapters.

Nowadays, I just use the JTAG software from universalscan.com and design a simple PCB using eagle for the flash chip I want to dump. I put a blank coolrunner2 CPLD with the flash chip as well for the JTAG connections. It takes a very long time to dump big chips, but all in all it will just cost you about 10-15 U$D for the PCB even if the flash chip is a BGA type ;0) ...
