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
