looks good and a lot cheaper than the EETools one, and it's made by... you guessed it... EETOOLS! I spent $110 on mine, and I thought it was a little high at that price, but I needed one that day. You can check fleabay, also.

A ChipMax 2? A UV eraser How expensive would it be to make your own? Buy a UV bulb and put it in a cardboard box.

Title: Re: looking at chip max 2 to burn EPROM's Post by: Buzz on March 31, 2010, 02:27:29 AM Why not make one using plywood ? Ron I have all the power tools you would need. You know the eraser I have holds about 50 chips, if your going to make your own might as well do a bang up job!!

You know the eraser I have holds about 50 chips, if your going to make your own might as well do a bang up job!! Yea the one you have is pretty nice. I was thinking a cardboard box with no bottom on it and lined with aluminum foil for good measure. Then you can have as big as one as you want :96- PS - I had a big long reply typed up and the internet went down so I had to start over. That's all I could remember writing. :71- :52- |
