EPROM and EEPROM Programmers

I *did* find an FAQ which was "3. I have a computer with no industry standard ports. How can I connect the programming unit?" The answer is to spend another $100(on top of the already $300) buying a PCMCIA card to add a parallel port. Of course, it's interesting to note that it's "our fault" for not having a parallel port. Not their fault for not keeping up with the times and using USB like just about every other device on the market. It's "funny" in that it's written as though THEY are the expert on what is considered industry standard. Maybe the question should have been "3. The programming unit doesn't support the most popular industry standard for peripherals, but instead uses an antiquated interface used typically for attaching old printers. What should I do?" The web site design is ala 1990's[1], so perhaps they haven't realized times have changed? Another red flag is an FAQ that includes Win95 and ME related questions. Keith [1] In case you think I was just exaggerating, please see the 1998 version of the site(13+ years ago), which is more or less exactly the same as today's. http://tinyurl.com/7evnot6
