[Techtoolslist] The Age Old - "What Eprom Programmer shouldIget"question

[Bill Karkula]

You may or may not need adapters depending upon your target device.  For
"standard" eproms, no.  You do have to set a dip switch depending upon your
device but the software shows you a picture of the dipswitch settings.  I've
only programmed the larger eproms and it works well.  The nice thing about
this programmer is that since it's in the public domain (like Unix), many
people are developing algorithms, adapters, and enhancements.  I don't know
how well this programmer will hold up if you try to do volume through it,
but for my occasional use it has held up well.

Best Regards,

Bill

  Looks like they have a few of these on Ebay.

  Irvine is only a couple of miles from me too.  I guess for $38 I couldn't
go too wrong could I?  Your experience has been pretty good with these
despite the super low price?  Will I need to purchase separate adapters if I
buy this one?



  Thanks!



  Matt

  I kept my workhorse Data I/O and bought one of those enhanced Willem
programmers on ebay.  Mine cost less than $70 when I bought it over a year
ago.  Works great on those larger eproms - I only use the Willem when the
Data I/O is incapable of programming the device.  I have an old 100Mhz
Pentium laptop connected to my data I/o and to the willem and between the
two programmers I am covered.



  Best Regards,



  Bill

    I've been happy with my Data I/O 29b programmer for a long time.  I
especially like it because it does all the 82S proms that I need.

    Lately I've had a number of people asking me to program some of the
27C4000 and 27C010 series eproms.  I don't have the pinout cartridge to do
those and I'm not sure if I feel like hunting one down.

    Even though I fix games on the side for fun and a little side cash, I'd
like to get a nice eprom programmer (to program the newer, bigger eproms) -
but not pay $Big Bucks$ for one.



    I don't want to spend much more than $350 for one so I was thinking of
maybe the Needhams EMP-11 http://www.needhams.com/products-emp11.html or
maybe something that uses USB instead of parallel.



    What do you guys recommend?



    Thanks



    Matt
