teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Bartre, let me know how well that programmer works.  My current one is a little flaky at times (I think its a chinese repro knockoff of one of the willem programmers)

well, as of now, i've tested it with about a dozen chips, and there's really no comparison.
this thing is pretty sweet, i've had 0 problems.
as a point of comparison, it typically took me 6-10 minutes to program a 27c801 eprom chip with 1 Megabyte of data.
on the GQ-4X, 46.47 seconds.

additionally, the software is infinitely better and simpler.

What did that programmer run you?  And where did you get it?

I nabbed it from the link I posted earlier:
http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4282

including shipping, it ran me about $110, though i think you might be able to charge it via a few different currencies, so maybe if you pick one that converts poorly, you can save a few bucks.
so far, no regrets, though i'll need to figure out how to use adapters all over again, since there aren't any jumper settings.

Realistically ebay is your best bet but they are over $100 now. At one point you could have purchased them off the aksys website for $5. Lol

Picked up some cool stuff for my birthday on Wednesday, first of which was a PVM-1344Q monitor to replace the PVM-1390 I had been using for a year. I'm still keeping the old one I had, but my main beef with it was that it didn't have PAL support, which I need for my Amiga. Thankfully the new one does and it looks every bit as good!

After that I went over to a local game store with my friends and managed to get a nice deal with the owner. I'll be fixing up a few NESes and a couple of SNESes for him, and in exchange I got Hermie Hopperhead and the Japanese version of Rival Schools for the PS1, all complete and in nice condition!
