Best 1.8V Eprom Programmer?

[dicky96]

Hi guys, I already have a TLL866CS and it has proved a very good tool, I love it and find the software very easy to use but it does not program 1.8V chips.

I know there is a 1.8V adapter for the TL866

But if I get one of these do I need to install a different version software to add all the 1.8V Eprom types to the IC database?

Is there something else better for 1.8V Eprom rather than using this adapter wit hthe TL866, or some other advantage to gain if I get a second Eprom programmer to add to my tool box, that can handle 1.8V and maybe other things the TL866 can't do? Even if it costs a bit more.

I'm specifically interested in programming GPU BIOS chips.

Thanks
Rich

i would say upgrade to the new 866II+ - it goes down to 1.8v and the software is upgraded almost weekly.
and buy the BLACK SOCKET version.

Rather than get a 1.8V adapter for my TL866CS? Is that due to better software support for the 866II+?

Have you considered the SVOD3 programmer at all? Apart from doing EC's, I use it for all my SPI chips and it's switchable to 1.8V from within the software. If there isn't a chip supported, you can request for it via the app.

yes, the other programmers have not had an update for a long time and never will.
they got dumped after they got cloned to death!
