hello, Any one have any info on XELTEK EPR-01 EPROM programmer. I am looking for documentation and software or compatible software. currently it only has the 28 pin socket installed *BUT* I noticed the PCB has slots for 40 PIN chips sockets (not installed) is there any way to upgrade this programmer or does it already support other 40 pin devices and i just need softwware ? and install some sockets ? Any helpful advice greatly appreciated, robb

The really fancy universal programmers use programmable pin drivers for every pin; they can be programmed to any of float, 0V, and one of three or four different drive voltages. The drive voltages are themselves programmable.

But, there can be few reasons if you find the new hardware (Revised release) with additional pins . Anyhow checkout http://www.xeltek.com . Karthik Balaguru
