usb 24LCxx serial eeprom programmer

[badrad]

i built up the JDM serial programmer, with the EEPROM attachment, but never got it working. I bought a generic USB-RS232 convertor, but was unable to get the combination working (along with unknowns as to the stability of my workstation hardware). so i shelved the project (for the time being - way too much production work to fiddle with this).

seems like compaq and toshiba are some of the few notebook makers that still provide parallel ports in some of their configurations. so, that's what i got... the only problem is lugging an 8 pound anchor around town isn't my idea of fun, but is a good workout.

at least there aren't any new variables to deal with, i just take my setup from the workstation and on the road as needed.

There is a usb serial flash programmers here not sure if this is what you are looking for:

Also I have seen the xeltek programmers mentioned. I use the superpro 3000U.
But it is a little more expensive. See here: http://siliconkit.dnsalias.com/cart/3000u.html

Heh, somewhere in my projects folder I have PicBASIC code that runs on a MElabs LAB-X1 board that would read and write to i2c eeproms. I even wrote an xmodem transfer protocol so I could just transfer hex data serially between a PC running a terminal program and the LAB-X1. If I can dig it up, maybe I will post it here, if there is any interest.
