  The OLD Pre-Unisite (model 2900 ??) programmer
from DataI/O...  
 You're thinking of the model 29 (and 29B).  They've been out of support
 for quite some time, and they recently removed the last technical info
 (such as family and part codes) from their web site.  
 Does anyone have this info?  I have an old programmer under the bench that
 I have check, but ISTR that it's a model 29.   
 As I started reading this thread, I went up to the Data I/O file
download area
and realized in horror that those family and part codes text files were
gone!
(The "old" directory under ftp://ftp.data-io.com/dataio/device.lst is
gone)
Someone should host these files! 
 I started searching my hard drive and some backup CDs for files with
"22" in
them. And I did find the family and part codes text file for the "Series
22/A",
but I could swear that I also downloaded a zipped file of all of the old
programmer
support files from the Data I/O site. I just can't what it might have
been named.
Can anyone convince me that I'm not just imagining this?

  I've just bought an old Data i/o series 22
programmer but it lacks a manual.
 Data i/o have indeed removed all tech support for older models from their
 website.  Does anyone know an alternative site still offering manuals?  
 I have a couple Series 22 programmers (and a optional RS-232 paper tape
reader,
built-in UV eraser,and 351A-064 socket adapter for those little PROMs
like the
82S123  :).
And I also have a manual, contact me at dcoward(a)pressstart.com.
Or if you're already famillar with operating the Series 22, I could just
scan
the little "flip book" operator's manual. I have flip books for the 22B
(What is the 22B?),
Series 22, and the 29B. I don't have a regular manual for my 29B.
 One of these days I need to create a cheat sheet for operating the
Series 22 because
every time I need to use it, I spend half an hour in the manual
(especially to set-up
remote operation with a PC).
