IMI EPROM Programmer

(1 / 1)


Our trusty old IMI EPROM programmer has been limping along with
one socket marked "Bad Verify" - I understand that the socket is
not used.  Should we get it repaired? Do we program enough 27512's
to make it worthwhile? It will cost $400 to repair it.  We can also
"upgrade" it for $1200; this buys us faster programming algorithms 
and faster download (IMI claims 38.4 K on the serial line), but still
NO 32-pin devices. Is the upgrade worthwhile? 
IMI says their 32-pin device gang/set EPROM programmer is coming soon.
I have heard that for about 2 years now.

Opinions, testimonials, complaints, etc. are solicited.
	Is the repair worthwhile @ $400?
	Is the upgrade worthwhile @ $1200?
