Re: ICE Speedmaster 1000 Eprom programmer
As the interface to the programmer is 8-bit parallel you could (in theory) just analyse lots of traffic going back and forth between the DOS software and the unit - by making use of the 'custom device' creation feature you could see exactly what changes when you only change the programming voltage or the programming pulse type, for example.
Much easier if your colleague could make a Windows - I've forgotten the proper term - 'wrapper?' to go around the original DOS software. The main problem is gaining full speed access (through Windows) to the parallel port which few modern machines will have in any case.
