We would like you to meet with Glenn. He is a hobbyist and a big fan of Xeltek SuperPro Z just like others. We met him on a DIY forum site. And he was so kind to share his time and experiences with us. Glenn starts as…
“…some of my more fun projects was rewriting bios on an old sx2 to run XP and web bios. Funny thing was it zoomed online video and all, Xeltek SuperPro Z universal EPROM programmer is the $hit for any would be hacker/programmer/EETwizard. as far as the old-old stuff you can keep it stock and collect software for retro museum collections but most of it is done gone. I done quite a bit of factory and office upgrades in the last 15 years and pretty much got one of everything to be had but I know I have recycled 50 million in computers at their new price any way.”
Glenn is a do-it-yourself guy with lots of humor “…I love turning them into robots, automate things with them or even run my cool programs...” and continues as “…Though in truth, probably 30% of my uses are hardcore hacking of existing equipment like converting old FedEx label printers to work as roll printers with standard drivers and PC. My favorite uses in hobby robotics, homebrew computer design while my most common and daily use is in automating factories and military base buildings/equipment some of which is security clearance required stuff..
So I could say,
I know I can depend on my "SuperPro Z universal programmer" to be capable of handling all my chip level programming and duplication needs while still being small and portable enough to fit into a brief-case with my laptop and other tools for carry-on and yet rugged enough to handle travel or even a short drop from the desk… “
And Glenn adds “…the "Xeltek development software" is as good as I have ever seen and full featured to do anything you might want. Knowing our worlds’ dependence on electronics and knowing machines on this level "when first opening the Box you realize your now holding the master key's to national security on every level and your own ethics/morals and skill are the only boundaries that really exist!!!”…”
Glenn obviously has his own way to make SuperPro Z use out of it. But the governing idea behind this chat was drawing the fact that SuperPro Z is still an important part of our lives. And it ages like wine, but still shining like an old star.
