Info Needed: Logical Devices PromPro 8X

[Jim Toon]

Hi, all-

I have an older Logical Devices PromPro 8X EPROM burner that I need to
keep using to maintain some older equipment. (The dedicated software
will not "talk to" other/newer programmers.) The problem is, I have
lost the small, black plastic plug-in which fits into a socket labeled
"CNF". I believe that this plug-in is nothing more than 1 or more wire
jumper(s) but I have no idea of the pinout. It's built on a DIP header
sort of thing. The smaller "Shooter" by the same manufacturer uses a
similar plug-in. Does anyone have either of these programmers, and can
give me a pinout of that plug-in? The manufacturer has been no help at
all, they just want to sell me a new programmer which would not solve
the problem. Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA...

Regards, Jim

Try and get past the sales and "help desk" barricade to talk to a real
engineer. If he can't mail you a replacement dongle or tell you how to
wire one, well, maybe you should post your experiences here. The usenet
archives are a handy place to check out a manufacturer's reputation. It
would be good to know if Logical Devices http://www.logicaldevices.com/
felt that it was too much trouble to maintain life cycle support for
their older products.
