Re: VERY nice EPROM programmer...

Sure it can, you just need an adapter like this: http://www.therealbobroberts.net/mspacrom.html

I have a Needham's EMP-10 and it works fine with my ancient Toshiba's 1910 laptop in DOS but I never got it to work reliable under any form of Windows.

With all the brands of programmers around I wonder why Needham didn't make it....
