I purchased a universal chip programmer for PIC microcontrollers, EEPROMs, EPROMs, ATMEL microcontrollers, etc.

Since i was about 18 i wanted it, so i finally got.

If someone of the forum need to program a BIOS chip or something i will do for free. Just send the chip (and the .bin file) and i will resend to you reprogrammed.
Of course, only for PB community and accepted donations :D

Galep-4 accepts PLD devices, mine doesn't, but mine one is much more cheaper.

Tell me more :-) .

Btw.: I love ISP, and I don't want to have a standalone programmer anymore.

Leap (i.e. galep4 etc.) programmers has only a ZIP DIP socket, (my model has 5 different sockets, and of course you can get adaptors for more different sockets like TSOP ones).
Leap models are not easely modificable for different voltages for some wierd devices, but willem models are easely modificable for VPP and VCC voltages, whatever be needed. ...
Seriously: if i don't need PLD programming, and leap and willem models would cost the same i would purchase a willem one (well, but if you are not a electronics knower and you don't want to be, then my suggestion is to get a Leap one).

I have a MultiProgrammer 3.5 and are very pleased with it.

Unfortunately there is a stupid law in Sweden a few years back, that forbids selling of programmers and cards. :x It's really stupid because you can use a card for legal stuff. Almost as if hammers would be forbidden, because you can kill with them.
