#111384 - worse programmer?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The programmer which sits in my office is used for everyday production programming for 5+ years and it's ZIF is twice or thrice over it's lifetime (the software notified so we got the repacement which since then safely lies in the shelf, as I had no time nor reason to change it). Not a single occurence of bad signature on Atmel, Microchip, Intel and a handful of other manufacturer's chips.

Maybe it was not expensive enough?
:-)))

PS. The point probably lies in that the programmer is able to do insertion check on every pin before it attempts to start the programming cycle. It happens quite often it says "no connection on pin xxx", repositioning of the chip into ZIF always helps.
