Welcome to the DATA I/O Universal Programmers Group.

This group is for Students, Hobbyists, Technicians and Engineers to share their knowledge and resources for DATA I/O Universal Programmers such as the Unisite, ChipLab, ChipWriter, Labsite, 2900, 3980 and many more.
Other Universal programmer models and brands are welcome as well.

For those of you that are using other Universal Programmers such as SuperPro, XelTek, Needham, or Labtool or similar... Another great group for you to check out is the "ChipMasters" Group Page. The Admin of this group has 25+ years of experience.

As for this DATA I/O Group, anyone that can provide any programmer software, firmware or Documentation is encouraged to join. Some of these devices are no longer supported by DATA I/O and they do not provide any kind of support whatsoever. So we are on our own to get these puppies running and to preserve what we find. So please add to our "FILES" & "LINKS" section if you can. Also know that your expertise and knowledge will be greatly appreciated by many of us here.

My main area of focus is using the DATA I/O LabSite Programmer. I am using it to Erase Altera MAX 7000 Series 84 pin CPLD's. The Chips were in a JTAG Lockout state and I therefore needed a NON-JTAG programmer to erase them to reactivate the JTAG communication lines.
This is where I'm at with my Labsite programmer.

After you join, post a message to the group. Let us know your background and what your current projects and hobbies are. :)

So lets get down to some Vintage EPROM programming.
