Hello eveyone. I am new to the list and looking for info
for an old prom burner I have come across. It appears
to have been manufactured by B&C Microsystems,
and is a model 1409. Looking for any info regarding
this beast. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin Berlen

Hi Kevin,
The 1409 was a great burner from the mid to late 80s that could be
used to burn Eproms and CPUs (2716's, 2764s, 8748s...) of the day.
Available as either a kit or assembled and tested, had serial port
that went up to 19,200 as I recall... I used one for many years until
I bought a Xeltek Superpro.
I think B&C Microsystems still exists and probably has the manual for
it available in PDF format. http://www.bcmicro.com (link seems
broken) if not I might have a copy that I can photocopy or scan to
the archive mentioned below.
You might be better off on another mail list called Tech Tools List
for this particular item - there we talk about electronic repair
equipment instead of the classic computers. We also have the 1409 ROM
image archived on our FTP site. Low chatter rate too, perhaps a few
messages a week and then a flurry every month or two...

Snooping around archive.org shows that B&C seems to have evolved into
Testmetrix - and in 1998 when testmetrix.com first appeared they
stated "Testmetrix is a division of B&C Microsystems, which was
founded in 1983 in Sunnyvale, CA.(the heart of Silicon Valley)." .
Same phone number as B&C.
