I think this would make an awesome little flasher :-)
After reading it looks like the USB-PIO is a USB version of the IDE Flasher (http://www.loet.de/flasher.html) with some kind of a modern 82C55 PIO chip. I would love to know what is inside of it :-)
I think it's too expensive, and there is absolutely no information about the controller it uses.
If only we could figure out what is inside, one could be made for fraction of the price...
I was thinking exactly same ... Take a look here fore a really cheap usb2par adapter: USD/GBP http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260559167502 EURO http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260559167502
Yes, and I read somewhere this adapter "claims" to be a true usb to LPC adapter. Not like the other cheap DB25 ones. Just purchased one, we will see...
and with a little bit external logic you can make an awesome little flasher from it I think ... with this cheap price worth to think about, and big plus would be that you can then also use this flasher on any standard parallel port.
Also there are other cheap ready-to-use programmers available, f.e.: USD/GBP http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190406064090 EURO http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190406064090 just read what you all get with this offer ...
Yes seems tempting but I looks like no LPC or FWH chips supported.....and my bigest concern.... no Linux support.
