[sdiy] Universal (EPROM) Programmer - Redux

[charlie wallace]

i have the dataman 48UXP, i've always liked dataman since the first
softy's so picked up the $1200 universal programmer, only to have them
not support win7/8 , i have to run it in a XP VM.

some of the datamans are actually elnec's

i got the http://www.mcumall.com/ gx-3x's which are cheap and
cheerful, the software is basic but so far has worked fine and is
considerably cheaper, i end up using that instead of the nicer looking
dataman just because of the software hassles, mcumall have cheaper
adapters too. it does the 27c400 with a adp-054 adapter.  and if it
gets damaged or they dont update the software, i'm out $100 instead
