[Techtoolslist] Dataman 48Pro+ Universal ISP Programmer

[Matt Rossiter]

  I saved enough money in my Videogame piggy bank to buy one of these a
few months ago. Mainly because I was tired of using the big and bulky Data
I/O 29b and always coming short of an occasional adapter that I needed. I
just wanted something that fits in my desk that I can check IC's with and
burn any eprom I needed. I have to say, their support team is a big plus. I
asked them to add the 82S114/82S115 proms to their list - which are pretty
uncommon. I just needed to send them a couple samples and some datasheets
and they did it. I was able to test and burn some Atari Drag Race proms
this morning. I also asked them to add 2101A/9101A rams so that I could go
through and test my stash. It will also test 2114's but sometimes there are
some brands that fail such as the Toshiba TMM314's - so I asked them to add
those and they did. You certainly get what you pay for. :) The only bummer
is you do need an expensive ($200) adapter for 2708's or TMS2716 eproms -
so I keep my Data I/O at bay for those. Matt
