Programmers and emulators

[Bob Wooten]

I checked that one out @ their site & it seems pretty limited/old
technology.  this is a quote from their site

"To use a Pentium computer you with the PRO-SERIES EPROM EMULATOR or EEPROM
PROGRAMMER you may need to change your I/O configuration BIOS setup. What
you want to do is select the Parallel Port Mode option which allows your
parallel port to perform as an AT or XT parallel port. If this does not
work, you will need an old XT/AT type Parallel port card. These products
need real time access to the Pentium CPU and must use an XT/AT type I/O
card"

.....  cant do that on the laptop so....... thinking that there are bound to
be better ones out there.  we are using a PIC emulator @ work & I am going
to go & talk with the EE that is using it & see what his feelings are.  I
guess he has used a number of them, well see.

Well,

It seems my Pocket Programmer has bit the big one. So I am looking at
replacements. Has anyone had a PP last for very long, I can pay the $55 to
have this one fixed but if the life span of these units is a little more
than a year, then I'd rather belly-up to the bar and spring for a better
programmer. I spent a couple of hours last night browsing over my options,
I'm liking the EMP-10, as I don't need a super-duper universal programmer
than can support 7000 devices.

I'm looking at emulators as well and I noticed that xtronics has an emulator
for the PP and I was curious if anyone has used this thing before?

It's price is attractive, but so was the cost of the PP and it seems you get
what you pay for... I am really leaning toward the pro-series emulator from
ldti.com. Any opinions out there? What has been proven to work well in EFI
apps? Can I still use TunerCat w/ an emulator?

Thanks for the bandwidth,
Drew
