     Sirs,
     I got a Data I/O 2900 programmer with the (44? 48? It hasn't arrived
 here yet) programming bed. How good is this programmer, compared to 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)
     Thanks

You need to subscribe to the data IO eprom programmer group on yahoogroups.
One of the members there has reverse engineered the MSM (Mass Storage
Module) which also includes a parallel port for fast communication between
PC and Programmer. It also allows a laptop hard drive or IDE-CF/SD adapter
to be used so you can boot off internal storage instead of floppy.
