(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.

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)

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
1X markings
Silicon Sculptor FAIL ACTIVE PASS START ACTEL DEVICE PROGRAMMER BP MICROSYSTEMS
Silicon Sculptor 2
Briefly looking couldn't find a picture without an adaptor attached…not sure if it has two or three adaptor connectors

Above: DO NOT TOUCH!

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
