I’ve been very happy with my GQ-4X programmer as well. They have responded quickly to device requests and provided a free firmware upgrade so I could use newer software. I look forward to hearing about your experiences with the Wellon product. Jack From: n8vem...@googlegroups.com [mailto:n8vem...@googlegroups.com]
On Behalf Of nbreeden I've started down the road to learn more about GALs, FPGAs etc. John's post has pushed me ahead on the project. I use a GQ-4X programmer for all my EPROM and FLASH needs; there isn't any GAL support however. I ordered a Wellon VP-390 from a company here in the US, I should have it Monday. According to what I've read the VP-390 supports the same devices as the VP-290 John mentioned plus something like 11000 more (it supports > than 19400 devices).
I'll post an update on it once I have some time with it. Sometime ago I bought a 'TOP3000' programmer as it was supposed to support GALs. I never got this programmer to work, I downloaded the latest software only to discover the firmware in it is too old to support the latest software. I did
more research on it; I didn't find a single positive review for the TOPWIN line of programmers. -Neil -- No virus found in this message. |
