I have here a TOP 2005 programmer here that seems to work ok, at least on the EPROMS I have done. I'm no programmer, just "trial and error" kind of guy. I would think that possibly the Willenhelm (sp) type would work better. They have a version that only used the USB for power, or you can put an adapter on it. It gets it's programming data from the serial port, and has a lot of sockets on it for the diffrent devices. Thay can be found on eBay as well, and less expensive. Have one also, and it works well for the smaller size of EPROMS. As it has been said, research and ask. Those who ask are better informed than those who don't and lose their $'s 73 Mike - N7ZEF

I would also like to program EEPROM's occasionally. I found an universal programmer on Ebay called TOP2004 made by ColdFusionX that is powered from an USB port. It claims to program PIC's, AVR's, and most EEPROMs which are listed. Will it program all the fuses bits on a PIC? Does it use high voltage programming (13V on MCLR/Vpp pin)? Does anyone have any experience with this programmer? Thank You, Denny KA3SXQ Yahoo! Groups Links
