Re: EPROM Programmer

Hiya!

For older boards and chips, there is but ONE programmer that can do 
everything.....the Data I/O 29B with the Unipak 2B. They're a bit 
cumbersome by modern standards, but they're very reliable, and can be 
had for a good price, they generally go for $100-$150 on eBay.

The AM4716 is probably compatible with any 2716 (except TMS) - that's an 
educated guess as I don't know for sure, but I'd certainly try it as a 
2716 first.

Yours, Mark.
