ChipMax is a cost-effective, high quality industrial-grade device programmer with parallel-port interface that is suitable for most programming needs without using any extraneous personal family modules.

The state-of-art hardware architecture with an on-board FPGA enables ChipMax to support high-density EPROMs, EEPROMs, Flash, PLDs, and Microcontrollers in DIP (Dual Inline Package) without adapters.

A standard 40-pin Textool socket allows the ChipMax software to support future devices without changing the hardware circuit.

ChipMax with its small size and light weight fit perfect inside your briefcase for traveling.

ChipMax works with IBM PC XT, AT, 386, 486, Pentium, PS/2, Portable (laptop) or compatibles personal computers.

Superior software which includes both DOS and Windows (95/98/NT/2000) versions gives ChipMax a user-friendly advantage.
