I bought this programmer as it was advertised as a Needham PB10 which was supposed to be a factory packaged item. When it arrived it came in just a plastic bag with no cable, or software or manual. I've looked everywhere for images of a Needhams PB10 but they don't look like this board. Can anyone shed some light on this burner? It does have in the corner 87C751. Thanks . Please see image attached.

No. That's part of some programmer, but it's not part of a PB10.

The PB10 is an ISA card, with a 40 pin ribbon cable the plugs into the back, and leads to a little board very much like that one, with a ZIF socket on it. But no other components - just a ZIF socket. The programmer itself is the ISA board, and has a lot more chips and components than that on it. It's roughly the size of an ISA network card or something.

Edit: Now that I think about it, that might be part of a PB10, in the sense that I think it's a programming adapter for other devices. That would replace the usual socket board on the end of the cable. I don't know specifically what devices it's needed for though, I can check my manuals when I get home. But still, it's not a programmer by itself.

Edit Edit: OK, now I feel stupid. It was right there in front of my face. That's an adapter, for the PB10, to allow it to program 87C751 and 87C752 microcontrollers.
