What adapters did you pick up with it? I'm looking at it, and wondering if I need the adapter for the 40/42 pin adapter. LMK. Thanks.
Yes, it does need an adapter. I have the 40/42 adapter for flashing the bigger sized roms. They don't cost much, so it was a no-brainer.
NOTE: The adapter comes with a piece-of-crap, 'do-it-yourself' bus cable. Instead I used a couple of 4-conductor CD-ROM audio cables I had lying around from previous purchases. Most cables nowadays are 3-conductor only, so watch out for that. :smt045

I started with a Willem but sold it after a few months to buy a Xeltek SuperPro 3000U. I couldn't be happier about that decision. No hassle anymore, it just WORKS and also supports almost 39000 devices today.

:smt120 :smt103 :smt104 Oh geez, I've seen those. Unless you prototype a lot of stuff, its worth it. I was looking at the 280U or the 580U, but that's not for a little while... :smt005

Piccy of the cable???
Think I feel a purchase coming on.
Are they easy to use then??? ?40 plus s/h sounds like a bargain to me!
The Willem USB is super easy to use, it works the first time, every time, and it's super fast. As for the cable, I'm not sure I have it any more, but it's a 6-conductor cable with bare ends, no connectors. :smt013 As I mentioned before, I used CD-ROM cables instead and it works like a charm.
Neither of the Willem products on ebay are true Willem programmers. Look at http://www.willem.org/catalog/. The latest version is 4.5 and is has a parallel port. Someone copied the schematics and altered it to put on a USB port. I am not saying that it is bad, it is just not the original.
