but ridiculousium.

yeah, the programmer costs much less


Any reason you can't move to a newer programmer? You're not programming
2708s or anything?

Actually I'm programming a lot of old things, including MCM68764, 2716,
most of the MCUs that this old programmer supports...
You would be surprised to discover how few programmers support (correctly)
the 2532s and MCM6876x (or ricoh pin compatible parts) for example.
Anyway... I can live with a magnifying glass for the moment.
