TL866 Adapter

TL866CS EPROM programmer - well priced little programmer has a couple of issues: low Vpp voltage and can't program 2732's so I built an adapter to fix this.

I can switch between 2716/2732 and 2532, an onboard switch mode PSU generates the 25V Vpp which is automatically switched in when the TL866 Vpp is active. 

The circuit is based on a design by Volker Bosch:

Here's a DIPTRACE schematic of my circuit as built on Veroboard in the photo.

 

I've now designed an improved version with a PCB, this just has a rotary switch to select between the three EPROM types (2716/2732/2532) rather than the confusing links.
