Ahh,
that's you. :) I'll shoot you some tasty goodness via

Well I could not find the Auction Site. Good luck on your buy.
Thank you. It will replace my trusty Data I/O 2900, which has
served me very well. I am excited about the upgrade.
I do hope people help Phill in the other post get a
NON-PC based
fuse ROM programmer built. I would like to see built that becuase
every
stupid thing has to be attached to a stupid PC rather than a
old classic computer with a serial port.
I don't connect my current programmer (the aforementioned 2900) to
a computer at all. I have a "programming station" of sorts set up on
one side of a table, with the 2900 and a VT420. Since I generate my
hex files in different places depending on what I'm doing, I just
throw them onto a floppy and read them into the programmer that way.
The terminal-based user interface is very good.
I have documentation on the serial remote control protocol that
the 2900 (and presumably other UniFamily programmers) use. I am
considering writing a software package to control these programmers.
I prefer the terminal UI, but having options is nice, and it seems
there's a need for such a program. There's Windows software out
there for it, but apparently nothing for serious platforms.
