I'm confused that you couldn't find any info on these. I have a 29B with quite a few different attachments. These are about the best documented units I've seen. I probably have 3 or 4 inches of documentation (fairly sure it includes schematics), and at least 3 different versions of DOS programs that allow you to control and automate the unit. ISTR a unix one floating around as well. I know the docs include "thousands" of pinout families referenced to which chips they are for...
I believe I scrounged all this from google years back. Let me know if you can't find info....

Trying to test them out and ran into a nightmare. They require a pin family and size parameter. But in none of the documentation is there any mention of what these values are. There are some generic pinouts, which are almost useless because Data I/O changed the definition of several pins. Then the manual says to get your part's timing chart and compare them to 409 pages of timing charts to find the family type! Nothing is mentioned anywhere on how to calculate size parameter. There should be a chart or document somewhere that gives the parameters by model numbers like 2516, 2764, etc. Anyone know of a document like this? Anyone have experience with the model 29A&B, Model 19, Model 100 gang programmer, etc. At this point, without better data, these 11 -12 deveces are heading for the scrap pile. This is the poorest documentation I've ever seen on a piece of test equipment. Billy Pettit
