Found an EEPROM programmer that works with Linux

I just thought I'd let everyone know, for the record, that I found an inexpensive USB-interfaced EEPROM programmer that works with Linux. This is the Model TL866CS which is often sold as "MiniPro Programmer". These can be found on Ebay for around $50. It feels substantial and solidly built. The software I used to control it can be found at https://github.com/vdudouyt/minipro. The software has some nits[1] but it does work. There's a QT-based front-end at https://github.com/wd5gnr/qtl866. That one has a potential showstopper bug in that it does not surround the device name with quotes when calling the minipro software. So, for those of you (like me) who have posted from time to time looking for a chipburner that works with Linux, here's a solution. [1] udev rules aren't installed in the right place. No option to emit a list of supported devices. -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
