You're exactly right, you DO need software just to operate the Unisite. I
believe that also applies to the 2900/3900 but I have no experience with
them. FYI you don't really need the PROMLink program. It's basicly a
terminal emulator program and gives you the ability to send and recieve
files but as far as I can tell it doesn't really do anything that many
commonly available terminal programs don't also do.

Maybe you can find free images of

available for free

several places
on the net. I'm not sure promlink supports the unisite, but
I'm thinking it does...

In addition to whatever software you use to communicate with a
2900/3900/Unisite, I believe they all need to boot from a boot floppy
and the programming algorithms are supplied on floppy and without
those the programmer is useless. the boot and algorithm floppies on the net, but
probably not legal
images. I'm sure that doesn't bother some people, but might bother
others.
Data I/O sells a subcription service to their algorithm updates. I
don't see a price listed. If you have to ask is it too expensive?
