Hi Luis
No problem, and it's much better anyway to hear from someone who's used
it:-)
I only took a quick look at the web site before and didn't see the self
build instructions at that time, but having seen the SMD chip he's using I
think asking for a price might be safer:-)
I see from your earlier comments that you've used it ok with old
programmers but on the page you've linked do he doesn't recommend that, have you
come across any problems with this?
Regards

Hi Nigel,
I missed your post before my reply to Joe, so I made no mention to your
suggestion.
I have those and they are not a printer thing, they really
work low level. The list of programmers and bit oriented stuff
that was reported to work well is big and surely there are more
stuff that works that is not in the list...
Joe, take a look a check if you app is reported good:
