How to burn a large volume of bytes (>40k) into the eprom?

At at guess, risky because I haven't bothered to check the manual:

I'd say the /O option accepts C-format integers, in which case a leading 0 indicates octal format. The number in the .HEX file is in, well, hex.

0010 == 0x0008 (one eight equals eight ones)
0030 == 0x0018 (three eights equals one sixteen and eight ones)
0050 == 0x0028 (five eights equals two sixteens and eight ones)
0009 == 0x0000 (the digit '9' does not exist in base eight)

Yes, /O leads an octal address, not hex, not decimal.

Only one problem remained,

$ bin2hex /O0000 foot.jpg

"Notice that Status: Address 0x00000000 exceeds 64K.. What does this mean?"

What size is the JPEG file?

It always happens. Even for a Java class generated on this code, it still gives this warning.

class Act {
    public static void doMathForever() {
        int i = 0;
        while (true) {
            i += 1;
            i *= 2;
        }
    }
}

I think it may work out better if you take up the hints provided and avoid writing your number in octal format. Did you try writing /O0 or /O0x00 instead of /O0000?

It always gives this warning, no matter what address is assigned to /0.

Following is an example.

Many thanks anyway.

For what it's worth, here's a link to a program that can handle a wide variety of record formats for memory image files, as well as manipulate the files.

Thanks for the information.
