"A nice programmer and surprisingly clean software."
"I had 11 ATMEGA328s (5x 328, 6x 328P) to burn bootloaders on: Took me about 10 minutes to do everything once I had the software installed (half that time was spent troubleshooting why it wouldn't burn on the first chip, where I discovered that I'd purchased the 328 instead of the 328P) - the hardest part was finding the .hex files in the Arduino IDE folder."
"This is a really versatile programmer."
"Works great, reads/writes/erases FLASH chips, reads/writes EPROMs."
"The software is glitchy and slow, errors abound when you try to program anything on this, but in the end this programmer covers a huge number of chips, it's very easy to use, the software has a huge variety of settings and customizability, and it always works as long as you're patient and willing to deal with it."
"I needed this to burn EPROMs for fbForth 2.0, a computer language I wrote as a file-based cartridge version of TI Forth for the TI-99/4A computer (vintage: early 1980s)."
"Ordered 2 units, but cheaper TL866CS model arrived (without ICSP that is advertised in product description) instead of TL866A."

"It is reliable for reading EPROMs and mask ROMs at least, and if that's all you want to do then it's a good tool to have."
"You can still verify code though, but you don't get a look at what's on the chip vs. what's loaded into the program."
"When Flashing a PIC16F877a the software can't run the verification, it has to be disabled or it will return an error."
"I bought some chip that was pulled in china and tried reading it with this and it was quite easy to figure out which chip I needed to find in the software."
"Worked flawlessly for my 93C76 EEPROM; another device would not properly write to all addresses."
"Would have gotten 5 stars had i not read that it could program all 25 series chips... and then found out that, that was not the case."
"This programmer works as described.....However...I have only programmed a 27C512.....it did the job flawlessly."
Fully functional, reliable program running of application software, ultra-small code，runs faster. Feature. High Speed Programming：Built-in MCU with high-performance and high-capacity USB interface ，at the communication speed of 12Mbps， being in line with (For each chip) well-designed programming algorithm and USB high-speed communications. Hardly feel the heat of the programmer after such long continuous work. Programmer self-testing function: Can test itself on each pin of VPP, VCC, GND and I/O information, at the same time it can run an inside short-circuit test on VPP, VCC current.

"A fine product but could have had a handle for the drawer."
"Works on everything I've tried so far..."
"Excelente recomiendo a este vendedor."
"There are numbers on the bottom of the PLCC32 chip, but these are not the chip mfg and model number. Remove these stickers with a razor blade, then the brand and model number is visible of the chip; you need this info to read or write the chip."

"I got the book "Make: Electronics" recently and rather than buy the prepackaged, overpriced kit they recommend from a specified distributor, I assembled the pieces I needed separately."
