Needhams EMP-21, UV eraser & laptop - a complete eprom solution (round 18)
I've got another kit ready for your repair needs.
Some of you may remember that I've sold a bunch of eprom burning setups with some older laptops and Needham's EMP-10, and EMP-20 eprom burners with a UV eraser. I had a LOT of interest in them, so I reached out to Needhams to see if they could source me some of their remaining stock of vintage programmers. I've always loved the EMP line of programmers because the programming interface is dead simple to use, and the programmers are very reliable. They get me programmers when they can, and I put together kits when I can.
Alright, so here we go. $450 gets you:
Needham's EMP-21 programmer. Pretty much the top of the line offered from Needhams back in the day. Connects with both USB AND parallel. Includes power supply, USB cable & ALL the modules that originally shipped with the programmer, numbers 201-220. This is one of the best eprom programmers Needhams ever made.
HP Elitebook 8440w laptop. Core i5 520, 4 gigs of ram, 320gig hard drive. This is a VERY nice laptop with lots of extras including a fingerprint scanner, night light, e-sata, webcam, displayport and more. Boots and runs correctly, all drivers correctly installed, device manager is clean. I've bookmarked KI4SWY's Romident page in the web browser (Google Chrome) for you to use for rom verifications. Big thanks to William (KI4SWY here on the forums) for maintaining the site, it's really nice for rom verification. Adobe reader is installed, so you can use the laptop to view schematics and manuals and data sheets. Office 2010 installed. Kodi installed, with all the great plugins and apps - watch TV and movies on this thing! Battery does hold a charge, I'd guess about 60-90 minutes or so. Plenty of time to move around without having to be plugged in.
UV eraser. China special. Brand new. I have one just like it - works great.
This is basically a turn-key solution for reading, verifying, and programming your own eproms. No more waiting (OR PAYING!) for someone else to burn or verify roms for you - do it yourself!
The laptop is all set up to go; it boots to Windows 7 and the EMP software is already loaded. There's a shortcut link on the desktop to launch the EMP software. All you have to do is turn on the laptop, and double click the EMP program icon and that's it - you're ready to go. I will also offer as much phone support as you need to get comfortable using the system. I've been burning roms with Needham's equipment for 8 years now, so I'm more than happy to help someone get started. With so many freeplay and game mods out there that are just a rom hack, this is a very economical way to service and upgrade your games. Wanna burn your own versus games to change your Vs Excite Bike board into Vs Balloon Fight? No problem! Burn up some roms yourself. Wanna add freeplay with attract mode to your Pac board? No problem! Burn up a new rom for it. How about the Turbo Ninja roms for MK? Sure! Burn your own copy.
These packages see quite a bit of interest, and tend to sell quickly. I will have some more bundles put together this spring, but you never know when the next one will be available - I sell them as I get them. This setup is what I would call a "top tier" or "premium" setup - I will be listing more kits this spring with similar setups. This is as close to the best as you can get! The laptop alone could be used as a daily driver - Windows 7 is still a currently supported operating system.
I'm open to trades on this kit, but I'll be looking for a 35% premium in trade value. (Around $600). I just don't really need any more stuff
Thanks for looking!
