I got a Data I/O 2900 programmer with the (44? 48? It

newer toys like the Vellom VP280? It seems to program older devices that
the VP280 doesn't program. Also, where can I find the PLCC/SOIC/etc
programming beds for it? For a cheap price, of course :o)
If you find a good deal on one, grab it. They are wonderful
programmers. I used one for many years, until I replaced it with a
UniSite. (which has a hard drive, supports more than 20,000 devices,
that's just with the five-year-old software I have, the current software
supports even more) The 2900 is "almost" a UniSite, but not quite.
I dicked around with cheesy "plug it into a PC parallel port"
programmers for years until I finally drove a real professional
instrument. I bought one (that 2900) and haven't looked back.
(I have software for these, BTW)
