I have to agree with Zonn that the software is CRAP. The guy that I ordered
it from raved about his new version (which he sent me).. It wasn't as bad
as the old software, but it still sucked. He talked about it being better
than the Needham software. Well, maybe I'm biased because I've been using
the Needham software for so many years, but I have to disagree.

Most of the adapters are pretty cheap. Seems like the 1702 adapter was
horrendously expensive (but with all those voltages.. yuck).. The bipolar
prom adapter wasn't too bad but you have to build all of these jumper
blocks for the various proms..

If you want to build your own adapter those are pretty easy too.

It sure is nice getting complete schematics for the unit AND all the adapter
modules (even the ones you didn't buy)..
