                       Hi There, i am new here, i recently bought the GQ-4X true usb universal programmer, i was able to programmers 93C56B and 93C66B for my office needs, however i could not erase and reprogram P87C51RB+4A all i could do is read the contents..
  also it seems the GQ-4x has no support for PIC16C72A, when i select the PIC16C73A on the device,  the software hangs and freeze, i need to unplug the GQ-4X from the usb port in order to restart the software..
  i am using windows xp with sp3...
  really need help as i am lost on these two chips..
  thank you |

                       There is a software bug on PIC16C73A. 
  You need to change the devices.txt file, remove the line for PIC16C73A, and add following lines into devices.txt file:
  Name="PIC16C72A",ID="XXXX",Class="PIC16F872",Category="MCU",MFG="Microchip",CodeSize="4096",EepromSize="0",Package="DIP28",Speed="5",BEGPRG_COMMAND="8",ENDPRG_COMMAND="E",BEGERASECHIP_COMMAND="",PRG_MODE="0",Platform="GQ-4X"; Name="PIC16C73A",ID="XXXX",Class="PIC16F872",Category="MCU",MFG="Microchip",CodeSize="4096",EepromSize="0",Package="DIP28",Speed="5",BEGPRG_COMMAND="8",ENDPRG_COMMAND="E",BEGERASECHIP_COMMAND="",PRG_MODE="0",Platform="GQ-4X"; |
