ETI 9668 EPROM Programmer - shane.crozier - 30-08-2026
I have seen an old ETI Kit 9668 Eprom programmer for sale on Ebay - and was wondering if anyone had any experience with use of this device.
It plugs into the IO Port (has a 15 way DIN) and is able to program 2716/32/64 and 2532 eproms.

No sorry, I cant help there. I can do all those on my GQ-4x4 Eprom Reader/Burner.

I might have had one. Was it configurable with plugging in a wired 16(or 14) pin dip header into a socket? I don;t have the programmer anymore but I've a suspicion there's a few of the headers floating around in a junk box in my shed.
And do you mean eti668 programmer?
Do a google on it if it is the eti668

[edit] and I think I have assembler code for it that runs under cpm on a bee. No idea what cpu speed it has been setup for though.

Someone has one of these. It works but it’s rather crude & limited in functionality.

I’m a bit late to this discussion, but I built one these back in the day and I still have it. It was one of many projects for the Microbee designed by Tom Moffat.
The achilles heel of the programmer was that it used a hardware defined 50mS programming pulse. It takes a long time to write a 4kB EPROM at only 20 bytes per second.
When I need an EPROM written these days, I reach for my Minipro TL866CS. It is cheap, quick and reliable.
