(11:36:56 PM) Lord_Nightmare: the main processor [of the bp1200] is an 80286-16, with a 32mhz xtal (11:37:07 PM) Lord_Nightmare: [the board labeled] std48, it would [I assume] normally have [std48] printed on it nicely (11:37:22 PM) Lord_Nightmare: this one was a refurbished unit and i guess they used an unprinted metal case for that pcb (11:37:37 PM) Lord_Nightmare: std48 is the 'relay pcb' (11:37:38 PM) digshadow: but whats the point (11:37:52 PM) Lord_Nightmare: i think it controls which pins are powered with what [rail] but am not sure (11:38:06 PM) digshadow: gotcha (11:38:07 PM) Lord_Nightmare: the bp1200 it is a 'separate' pcb on top of the unit (11:38:13 PM) digshadow: but its basically part of the unit right (11:40:54 PM) Lord_Nightmare: the bp1600 has the 'relay board' integrated as a board which sits on top of the rest of the inside of the unit inside the case (11:41:16 PM) Lord_Nightmare: i think the 1400 does as well (11:41:33 PM) Lord_Nightmare: while on the 1200 it sat on top of the unit (11:46:35 PM) Lord_Nightmare: the most basic bp unit was the bp-1148 "device programmer" (11:46:55 PM) Lord_Nightmare: note the case is identical to the 1200, and the only difference [in appearance] is 'universal' is blacked out on the wording (11:47:11 PM) Lord_Nightmare: http://vertassets.blob.core.windows.net/image/107fdcf5/107fdcf5-2dad-11d4-8c3d-009027de0829/bp1148.jpg (11:47:46 PM) Lord_Nightmare: that picture is a mockup, the std48 'layer' is missing (11:48:11 PM) Lord_Nightmare: http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m1qMyAgqacqzlOo4KbeZLcw.jpg shows an actual 1148

- IF you get a TA-84 pin driver module (and a SM48D 48-pin DIP module, but NOT the one that comes with the BP-1148) it will convert your BP-1148 to a BP1200/84.

End of Life for 1400 and 2200 model programmers
Summary BPM announces the planned end of support for the 1400 and 2200 model programmers on December 31, 2008. Introduced in 1996 and discontinued in 2005, the 2200 and 1400 were the first in the industry to enable fine control of programming waveforms for the highest quality programming with the widest device support capabilities. Limitations of the original programmers hardware combined with new software compatibility and component obsolescence forces this end of support announcement.
Details End of support means that BPWin software released in 2009 will not support the 1400 and 2200 model numbers. These models can continue to function with existing BPWin software released prior to 2009, but will not be eligible for additional algorithms or updates to existing algorithms. Hardware contracts will also not be available for these programmers. Also, repairs and calibration of these programmers are no longer possible.

Silicon Sculptor
Actel programmers made by BPM.
As these cost less than the "real" BPM programmers, presumably can't be used with normal BPM software and/or work with other adapters
Silicon Sculptor 1
Has 2 headers (left/right) that adaptors plug into
Interface: parallel port
There is version with 1 connector and a version with 6 connectors

- WWAV20 motherboard with pin driver boards (PD8As)
- 286 processor
- 2MB onboard RAM
- an additional 4MB SIMM to support concurrency

mcmaster notes
2018-09-12
- Open SS2
- Think this was the eBay unit?
- PCB is identical to one used in BP-1600
- Both have blue bodge wire
- SS2 has RAM installed
Actel Silicon Sculptor 3
Above: DO NOT TOUCH!
This appears to be a crippled BP-1410 (however, it has the front-panel button and the 512MB of RAM present in the BP-1710). No analysis has been done to figure out where the devices differ (firmware, FPGA, host, etc)

I love how they switched from roman numerals to Arabic numbers. Maybe they'll call the next one Silicon Sculptor D…
Has 3 headers (left/right/top) that adaptors plug into
