                      | Wondering when there will be a 5X universal programmer with a 40 pin zif. I need one for NAND, but I need SPI too. I can't get both. |  |

                      | Yes. GQ-5X universal will supports more chips than GQ-4X and even more flexible. 
 You can get both NAND and SPI top modules at same time. Then you have NAND and SPI programmer at same time using a single base.

                      | But, will my adapters from the 4X be compatible with the 5X? |

                      | Sure.  The GQ-5X Universal Programmer still accepts all adapters from old parallel Willem programmer and GQ-4X.  Even more, the GQ-5X Universal also accepts other standard adapters from market or other brand programmer. 
 The software may be able to support both GQ-4X and GQ-5X Universal at same for a multitasking work.

                      | I now own a GQ-5X SPI.  I am wondering what is the date when you expect to release the GQ-5X Universal?  Also what addapter will I need to allow my 5X SPI to use my ADP-054 adapter?

                      | ADP-054 does not work with GQ-5X SPI.  It will work with GQ-5X Universal.  MCUmall is working on GQ-5X Universal, but do not have exact release date since there are more work need to be done. |

                      | Lets make sure we have this all straight.  All your documentation I have read says that there is one base to which you change an adapter to convert a GQ-5X to either a SPI, NAND, or Universal.  Your reply #4 above states that "GQ-5X Universal Programmer still accepts all adapters".  Are these not true statements?  Therefor there has to be an adapter to convert to a Universal version of GQ-5X.  If this is false I need to return this programmer and purchase a GQ-4X that will work as advertised. |

                      | Yes. The GQ-5X Universal Programmer accepts all old version Willem and GQ-4X adapters. 
 Your programmer is GQ-5X SPI.  In order to change the programmer from SPI to Universal, an universal top module needed. But this module is not available yet.

                      | Hi. a question, wanted to know if the gq-5x SPY. It works with the adapter ADP-081 SOIC8-DIP8 adapter (~ 200mil) SA684.? and another question. Now Available gq 5x.universal?
 
 Thank you

                      | Yes. 
 The GQ-5X SPI has standard ZIF socket, you can use any standard adapters. Such as ADP-004, ADP-081, ADP-081A, ADP-098 etc.
