    Default Original or China ETL programmer

    Hi,

    Sold my old genuine ETL 908 programmer as it was the parallel port version and i wanted to replace it with the serial port one. I can get a china clone for less than half price of the genuine one but was wondering if the chinease clone works as well as the original, haveing used etl programmer?s for close to 10 years i know they are a bit iratic.

    Cheers

    chinese product is ok , but the soldered joints arnt very neat or good .
    buy genuine as this will be updateable in the future and cloned 1s will not.
    i think the copys are about ?120 delivered , so if thats half price of genuine then buy genuine .
    thats my thoughts any way.

    Thanks for the reply?s you have given me the information i needed to make my decision.
    The reason i wanted the serial programmer was to avoid the compatibility issues the etl lpt port programmer?s always seem to have, be nice to use the programmer on my choice of pc rather than the only one i can find that it will work with!

    Cheers
