Anyone use the univeral programmers from mcumall (www.mcumall.com)?
I have one of their cheap programmers that does the job on 8051s,
and am considering the TOP853 model. Does anyone else use one
of these?

Cheers,
Rich

Yes
I bought the TOP 2048 months back and havent complained yet. Its simple
and does what it says.
I bought that one directly from mcumall

Prior to that I got a top853 om ebay. I sold it to get the top 2048
because of its expanded support and power adapter

Cool thanks. I have been happy with the 8051 programmer I bought
last year.

Cheers,
Rich

My feeling right now is that we are moving away from universal programmers.
The newer chips, such as Atmel AVR, have in-circuit programming provisions.
It's probably cheaper to buy or build a specific programming jig for each
family of chips than to try to stick with universal. Admittedly, a
universal programmer is handy to have!
