Conitec's new fourth generation GALEP-4 is a professional field programmer of
pocket-sized dimension. The new Galep supports EPROMs, EEPROMs, FLASH EPROMs,
serial EEPROMs, Microcontrollers, GALs and PALCEs - handling up to DIP40 devices
without requiring additional adapters or circuitry.


Socket adaptors can be pricey for what they are though.
