[Techtoolslist] Xeltek Universal Programmer Superpro interface?

[davids at oz.net]

OK, so it does need an interface card.  That is really what I wanted to
know.  I have other units of the same vintage so don't really need this one
to work.  But if it was simple parallel it was worth checking out.

Thanks John.  If you get a chance a couple of pictures of the card could be
interesting.

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.
