Hi David,

Ah, the original SuperPro! You can tell it is the original if it has no 
power input socket. Later versions had a socket for a wall wart supply. 
That was a good burner in its time and still will work if you have the 
controller card - and a PC slot. I think Xeltek still offers limited 
support for this obsolete unit, mostly the programming program - but not 
the interface card.

If you want to reproduce the card I can lend you mine to play with. As I 
recall it has a voltage regulator and some TTL glue to talk to the 
burner itself.

If you have a different SuperPro I still may be able to assist as I have 
a few variations that I have picked up over the years. It is one reason 
I have a Xeltek section in the FTP site.
