This one I'm putting together now uses some fairly antique parts in keeping with its intended use / appearance as part of a replica retro system.

I'm assuming yours will use modern / easily available components plus probably an Arduino and I'm sure your code for it will be better than mine because it always is. I'm just interested to see if Chris's already proven programmer hardware can be easily married to a modern controller.

Most people needing to programme these devices will be wanting to do so in order to repair an original retro system or get a replica going, so for those people the programmer really needs to be something which does not rely on the pre-existence of a working retro system to drive it.
