A proper programmer would be useful, but only if it can be used with free software. There's also this rom-emulator:

Richard Smith told me that the dos-based cli software works under wine, but it's still a proprietary thing.
this flasher can be homebrewed at 5 euro component cost and free linux flash software is available. you can also buy a ready-made flasher.
Yeah. We actually bought one, but the problem is that most modern plcc parts require 3-3.6V to flash, and this programmer needs an additional voltage adaptor to do that (it uses 5V if you hook it up to your PC power supply).
I don't suppose there is a manual in English somewhere? My German is rusty (http://www.loet.de/download_en.html).
Suggestions on how to build/where to find such a voltage regulator? The manual isn't very helpful in that respect - at least as far as I can make out. Would adding a resistor to the +5V line be sufficient?
Thanks, Ward.
