pro's

cheap free updates and easy to use

con's

no hard case. oh well be carefull using it and the flash 29c256 isnt here yet. its a nice programmer for those looking for simple cheap and effective tool to burn all sorts of chips

www.ustr.net

look for the epromer5.

i like it.

 

Wow, I just emailed the guy asking when suport for the 29C256 will be added, and he replied about 30 minutes later, saying support will be added Tomorrow, Oct 14th.... Customer service on a Sunday? Has hell frozen over?

 

i dont know if hell has frozen over but this is great news no i can use my flash chips YAAAAAAAHHHH

 

AT29C256 support is here, has anyone verified that it works? I may get it because I cannot get the pocket programmer to work on my laptop. The pocket programmer is too picky, SPP parellel port, no power management. I can't swith to SPP or turn off power management. Anyone want to buy a pocket programmer?

 

How much do you want for the pocket programmer?

 

Verified. Works fine with AT29C256. Haven't been able to get it to work with my AM29F040's yet, but 29C256 works fine with the Epromer-5.

Won't do 27SF512's though...

 

what about working with the 29c040a chip? any supprt for that yet?

 

Well my Eprommer 5 just arrived... going to install the software onto my laptop and see how she goes... Flash proms here I come!!

Edit: Other than I can't figure out how to change the start address, this bugger is sweet! Hate to do it but I guess I am going to have to double up my bins to 32K, unless I get it to start at $4000.

 

do what id do keep emailing them and they will add the feautre.

 

They're going to add it, just how it will be incorporated I don't know. Now if they can get that 29F040 working...

 

does this mean that the 29F040 wont work? dang i guess i wont get the switcher chip then.

 

I emailed Steve at ustr and doubling the bin up works fine. Thankfully the command prompt works to do this since I'm running 2KPro, booting to DOS and back just to double a bin would be a big PITA. lol cheers, Bob

 

They say it works, but I can't get it to...
