One of my Fall projects is to figure out why my Data I/O 29A isn't
working.  It's been sitting for years and when I got it out last year,
it didn't pass self-test.  I need to spend some time looking over the
posts in that group to see if my symptoms are common.

That said, unless you need to program stuff other than 2716-27512 and
up in that line, an old Data I/O is probably not what you need.  If
you need to program chips made before 1985, then it might be a good
choice.
