Maybe I'll just rely on Hobbyroms.com Maybe he uses a good expensive EEPROM burner for his stuff...
I actually have 11 different programmers,
.. but I only use a few constantly.
My workhorse is a Needham EMP-20
(..I also have a Needham PB-10, but the EMP-20 does alot more... )
I also rely alot on my Modular Circuit Technology MOD-EMUP programmer.
This is for the bipolar proms which the EMP-20 can not do.
I also have a MEP-4 and MEP-8 gang programmer for duplicates.
I also have a few HI-LO programmers, but these are basically the same as the EMUP.
Then I have a bunch of Data I/O stuff..
The 29B is for all the really old obscure chips with weird programming voltages
(high-current Intersil proms, tri-voltage TMS chips like TMS-2708, etc... )
I also have a Data I/O 288 8-gang duplicator,
but I never use that one because it's too clunky (...and the MEP-8 is better )
For "newer" stuff, I have a Data I/O 3980 XPi with all the modules.
This is for all the non-DIP eproms. I can do PLCC, SOIC, TSOP, etc...
Lastly, I bought the beastly Data I/O PSX-1000 30 chip duplicator.
I really didn't need this monster, but I got it for a song, so I bought it "for fun".
I've never really used it, other than testing it out,
and now it sits in a corner, taking up precious space.
... still waiting for that elusive large-scale erpom duplication order... ;-)
