My soldering accessories - youtu.be/Xa00SqgmLGkXgecu TL866II Plus vs T48 vs T56AnotherMaker2023-05-30 | These are the 3 most popular EPROM Programmers on the market and they have subtle differences and use cases that, once you understand them, make it really obvious which one is right for you.
A quick note. I have used all 3 of these extensively. When you look at the amazon reviews, it seems like there are very few reviews per product an often low reviews seem to be from people who seem to be using other USB/power cables or may not know what they're doing. Just my 2 cents. This video is not sponsored in any way.
