Hi all,
i am new on this board an this is the first time i approach the eprom/eeprom world, so be patient with me :)
i wanna be able to let some arcade PCB's of mine (Williams Joust by first, but i have various defective PCB's from 1980 to 1995) to play again. Those games PCB's uses 2732, 2716 eprom. The S.O. my portable PC has is Windows Vista and i have not a parallel port...
I was interested in a cheap programmer like the GQ4X or 3X, but i don't know what accessories i would need... could someone help me on finding out the best solution to program those old eproms (that family of eproms) indicating programmer and accesories?
Also: what's the main difference between 3x and 4x true usb programmers?
thanks a lot :)

Thanks for the answer. I don't know what JTAG Support, Fast mode SPI, Altera Xilinx CPLD means (it looks like those are the main differences); so GQ-3X is good for my pourposes? What accessory would i need?
thanks a lot ;) |

| if you are mainly for 2732, 2716 EPROMs, then the GQ-3X is good. If you want to let progrmmer support newer SPI EEPROMs, then the GQ-4X is better. |

| Thanks for the answer. For what concerns accessories, do i need special accessories or the 3X and 4X are ready-to-go with 27xx eproms? |

| No one can help me figuring if the basic pack is ready to handle 27xx EPROM without accessories? And what about an external power supply? Thanks :) |

You do not need the externl power adapter, unless you are connecting the programmer ro a unpowered US B hub.
If your 27xx EPROMs in DIP package, then you do not need any adapters.

| Not sure if they are PDIP (maybe CerDIP?) but they should fit the ZIF socket (they are common arcade PCB's EPROMS) |

| they are same size. If it is in black color, then it is PDIP. If it is brown, then it is CerDIP. |
