Does anyone have this info? I have an old programmer under the bench that
I have check, but ISTR that it's a model 29. It was purchased in the early
1980's to program 6309 256x8 PROMS (the same kind that are on the Apple ][
disk card) for an early MC68K design. I got it over 5 years ago to
support those very same cards but have never used it. For my typical EPROM
stuff, I have a PeeCee-based programmer with a 40-pin socket in a D-to-A box
that programs most stuff up to 1Mbit, both logic and memory devices. I use
it to blow GALs for my Amiga product.

To solve the data-in problem, I've got the programmer in a Commodore Colt
w/8003 NIC and I use Kermit over TCP/IP to move data in and out. It's not
as portable as an integrated ROM blaster would be, but it works great for me.
