Meanwhile, I thought I would install the software and driver for the XGecu programmer to get ready. Broke out my windows laptop that I keep around for such low level tasks and found just how long it has been gathering dust. We're primarily MacOS in the house and Windows machines don't get much use. Even so, I was a bit shocked to find it was back in the days of Celeron, Windows Vista, and hard drives that I had last fired it up. Funny enough, its CMOS failed checksum. How time flies while life goes on!
I likely need to get another Windows laptop to do this little project.
