In Progress: Logical Devices Chip Master 6000 Universal Programmer Teardown
This Programmer is made by Advantech and Known as the Labtool-48, or Dataman 48 Dataman 48LV/48XP and a Host of other Names.
Stumbled Across this Vintage Programmer on Offerup and Facebook Marketplace made an offer and was accepted. I hope seller ships it soon I have been wanting to teardown and show the inside of one of these old vintage programmers down for a while. I now have my chance!
