That made me wonder: I just checked Aliexpress and you can buy programmers as cheap as $20. I have a twelve year old Elnec LabProg+ with one disadavantage: it only works with a LPT port, something my laptop doesn't have. For this reason I got myself such a cheapo with USB and it works fine. So I wonder what justifies these $895? One could say it is like comparing an old Lada and a Rolls Royce but then I rather consider my cheapo to be a iX20, a car I'm very happy with. ok, does the "cheapo" usb actually program PLS100 chips? If so, what model is it? BTW, LPT port isn't a problem for me. I have still a few PCs with real parallel port, even modern ones (albeit not laptops).Received on 2018-08-30 09:01:38
