That will be fine for Diacom+ and Xtronics Pocket Programmer, should you go with that burner.

I was running Diacom on a 12 Mhz 286 for awhile. I think it'll even run on a 8088 or 8086 ! LOL

Well uhh.. "W95" can be bought at your local computer store, that's what people call the Windows 95 Operating System.

Tunercat is one of many ECM logging/programming tools that are available. go to www.tunercat.com for details.

If you're new to the prom programming thing, read the programming article in the tech central page of this site. Then, skim through all the threads on this board and see which discuss the various programming packages available to you. Some are for pay, some are free.
