RE: Device Programmer

Hi, they generally go for about $150. If you can get one for less, you're
doing well. :) You just need to make up your mind that you want one, and
that you're going to pay $150 or so for it.

The 19 and 29A will not work properly with a PC and the UI version of
promlink. The 29B and Unipak 2B is really the way to go, and are VERY
much worth the $150 price.

John might be able to better answer your question on mixing bases and
Unipaks.

Best,

I've been tracking and bidding on some Data I/O 29B & Unipak 2B combos on
E-bay but the ones that look promising (power-up and not missing the big
programming socket on the 2B) are all going for above $100.

Will a SYSTEM 19 or 29A & Unipak do?
Would I notice the difference since 95% of my game boards are from the 80s?
Do the Unipaks work on any base (without supporting the additional devices)
or must they be paired correctly (29A & Unipak vs. 29B & Unipak 2B)?

Any other programmers I should look out for that seem to be a consensus good
choice?

Thanks!

PS I searched the vectorlist/tech tools archive and maybe I'm being overly
influenced by the couple of messages that proclaim these items are plentiful
and available for < $50 on E-bay! :-)
