A Quality Product - you really do get what you pay for...
NOTE THAT THE WILLEM PROGRAMMER PCB5.0B REQUIRES A PARALLEL PORT FOR DATA AND A USB PORT FOR POWER (an additional power supply is required for programming voltages over 12.75V, (older eproms and some other devices require a higher programming voltage)
NEW Improved Version PCB 5.0B
Features and Advantages
Can program EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH, Serial EPROM, Serial Flash and MORE (Vpp 3.6V, 12.5V, 21V, 25V)
Supports CHIPS (EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH, I2C, PIC, MCS-51, AVR, 93Cxx, ISP) and more. Includes an ISP header on the PCB for In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP).
This hardware version (PCB50B) is more STABLE than version PCB4.5C and supports 3V3-3V6 SPI Flash devices.* SPI flash chips are found on new motherboards, DVD burners, hard drives etc. Note that if you need to flash or reflash a new SPI device, BIOS chip etc. see the Dediprog range of programmers.
It can program up to 10% faster than the Willem PCB4.5C, 20% faster than Willem EPROM Programmer (PCB3.5C) / (PCB4C) and 50% faster than the PCB3B+
Uses the power supply from a USB port or from an optional power supply or plug pack (not supplied)
You can choose between Version PCB3B/PCB3.5 and PCB4.5C using jumper setting if required
Latest Version - adds extensive support for 3V6 SPI Flash Devices*
*** This NEW PCB5.0B has Adapters PLCC32 to DIP32 and Firmware Hub/LPC on-board ***
Beware of Cheap Copies
I get A LOT OF REQUESTS for Technical Support from people who have purchased a Willem Programmer from elsewhere at a really low price but do not quite come up to standard and do not seem support the chips they should.
While I do not provide support for Items that have not been purchased from me, I have had a few special requests and because they have purchased an Adapter and other Items I agreed to check their programmer out as a favour.
Well, many of the Programmers I received have been of poor quality, here is the list:
- Really suspect solder joints including dry joints and little or no solder on some...
- No sheet of perspex or stand-offs underneath, just a plain PCB.
- PCB very thin and prone to cracking.
- No solder mask or screen printing applied.
- IC’s all soldered onto the board and not placed in sockets.
- Low cost components used.
- Components not properly attached.
- And sometimes they DO NOT SUPPORT THE CHIPS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO...
Darkwire provides Technical Support with every programmer sold. This is not just advice but REAL SUPPORT
We have a large collection of devices (chips) and know how to use EVERY ADAPTER with this programmer.
We also know various techniques for programming different devices and can help make your programming experience a good one.
*** At Darkwire you get the whole package ***
A Quality Product AND Technical Support.

Software Version 0.98d1 - stability and support for 3.5/3.7/4c
Software Version 0.98d - some fixes for XP
Software Version 0.98c - adds lots of support for PIC micro's.
Software Version 0.98a ( 0.98a [alpha] )
Software Version (0.98ap) *** CAN UNLOCK AM29F040B ***
Software Version 0.97j
*Note: Support for additional devices including SPI flash are included in the new software 0.98D11 which is released now, get it here.
This programmer will also work the same as PCB4.5C using the Software version PCB45-0.98D5
Normally, products that have only USB power cannot use VCC> (greater than) 5VDC. This product provides a socket on the PCB, so it can use VCC more than 5VDC. (plugpack/transformer 9VDC not supplied) And, increased programming voltages are selectable by jumper, no modification required. Schematic with jumper settings is supplied.
The back of circuit board is covered by a sheet of perspex and completely protected from a short circuit.
This excellent product is from the producer of the original Willem EPROM Programmer Version PCB3b and Developers of Software Versions: 0.97j, 0.97i+, 0.98i or (0.97i), 0.97h and 0.97g
