content: I'm looking for a proper EEPROM programmer/reader, which can handle all/nearly all types of parallel ROMs. I'm not quite sure yet if I want to build it myself (— I don't want to write the firmware and software myself here, I don't care enough for this kind of device to do that —) or buy one (used or new. Do the Chinese sell those?).Which models or open hardware projects can you recommend? If open hardware, preferably something AVR based since I don't have a multiprogrammer

content: I also bought the Minipro TL866 programmer from Ebay...Works quite well..not only for burning new life into old measurement equipment with dead ROMs...also does microcontrollers and think I2C eeproms as well...Comes in two versions....the bare programmer and one package including some PLCC adapters...handy for certain old boards with PLCC ROMs...you can still get those EPROM like 25C256 in PLCC from Mouser.Best of all...there is an opensource simple software available for Linux/OSX...so you're not fixed on Windows:https://github.com/vdudouyt/minipro

content: Linux support is a very strong selling point for me. Thank you guys, I think the TL866 is the device I was looking for :-)

content: Hi to all, i am having a problem with this programmer. I cannot write any plcc chip. First, the software output an error of chip id, later, when i uncheck the id check option and try to write, the following error appear: buffer data 0x5A Verify 0xFF. It is clear for me that the chip hasn't been written. Some help please. Thanks for you all.
