EPROM Programmer that can program several chips at once?
Anyone know of one? or have one for sale/trade?

I bought a Data I/O PSX500 and got it up and running on New Year's Eve with the help of two tech support guys from Data I/O, I was one of their only calls that day, so it worked out great.
I purchased two of them and used parts from each to get one working unit. It also handles PLCC and TSOP chips, 10 at a time and does up to 800 parts per hour. One very nice feature is that you can run stand-alone while loading from a master; then drop your blank chips in the ZIF sockets and turn the dial, the sockets close automatically and everything runs and verifies automatically. WAY better than paying $4500.00 for one that only does 6 at a time!
Hell, my dog could run the thing with a little training, once it's configured, it's just a matter of loading and unloading chips and it programs faster than you can stick labels on.
Here's my blog post about the programmer with pictures:

Has anyone tried a Modular Circuit Technology brand programmer?
Nice score.
I picked-up PSX-1000 recently ( 2 rails ) [Big Friggin' Beast ! ]
I tried it in stand-alone mode, but not connected to a PC yet.
(...Do I need any special setup for that ? )
I know I need an older version of the TaskLink Software.
Cheers,

Mike,
Very cool... If you dont mind my asking, how much did you pay for it? (its overkill for what I want, but just wondering)...
I bought two of them off eBay, the first didn't work but came with 3 complete sets of rails (48 DIP, CPLD and TSOP) and was around $265 shipped.
The second one was $114 + $65 for shipping so for just over $440 bucks
Check out eBay item 160387607029 that's a good deal at $99 bucks but I'd have the seller verify if it passes the self test and what shipping would be.

Yah, that's pretty much what I paid for my PSX-1000 too. (~$350-$400 with shipping)
Indeed, if it works, that's an awesome price.
But keep in mind this thing is HUGE ( 32" wide, 26" deep. 14" high),
and weighs a ton (...well, actually, closer to 100 lbs, but you get the idea ).
Shipping was a killer for me.
It cost $150 to ship it UPS-ground from CA to NY.
(...but the seller did an awesome packing job, so I'm not complaining
about the extra cost for the well packed unit ).
These thing use to sell for $15k-20k when new,
but nobody wants/needs them now because of their size.

Thanks for the info steph...do you think the MEP-1A will do 25xx's? It's about half the size of the single one you posted in the first pic, with no buttons
Thanks again. I assume 27xxx includes the 4 digit ones, like 2716 and 2732?
My friend won't be happy they won't do 2532's though, I think that's why he got them. He's got a bunch of blank 2532 chips and was planning on burning some to fix a few boards he has...
