[Noisebridge-discuss] Buying a Universal IC programmer for NB?

[Alex Perez]

I have an Advin Systems Pilot-U84 that is pretty bad-ass and which can be used to dump and program almost anything, from [E]EPROMs to CPLDs to PICs to flash memory to,  which I would sell to NB for the same price. I am not a member, and just looking to recuperate the expenditure on the slightly newer version from Advin, which included an additional PLCC adapter with support for the AMD Mach CPLDs which I needed.

The unit just has a parallel port, and a build in A/C transformer, and supports ganging for volume burns. The software is 9x/NT only, but I use it fine on my Windows 7 machine with the necessary parport driver. It would probably also run perfectly under ReactOS (Win32 clone) since it's a fairly minimalist/basic app.
