Title: Good EPROM Burner For The Money
Post by: qwerty on September 26, 2012, 01:37:48 PM
After building, buying, or modifying EPROM burners for over 30 years, I was wondering what would be a good one to get that doesn't require a dozen adapters to be able to handle current and future PROMs as well as PICs and other devices, and won't be obsolete in 5-10 years.

Xeltek superpro m is what I use, no adapters for most chips unless you get into plcc chips

Had a gq-x4 and liked it for the price, but required a few adapters and was slow compared to the xeltec. Really comes down to price you want to spend and demand you are going to put on it.  xeltec starts at $500  gq-4x is$125.00 with adapter kit.

I agree with coors... I also have the xeltec and find it to be reliable and fast.

Thanks for the info.  Didn't expect such quick and detailed responses.


I'll look into the Xeltek as soon as I get a chance.


Thanks again.
