capability. 849 enables also programming serial EEPROM with 
interface types IIC (24Cxx), Microwire (93Cxx) and SPI 
(25Cxx). 
All our programmers work with almost any IBM PC Pentium 
compatible or higher, portable or desktop personal computers. 
No special interface card is required to connect to the PC, 
since programmers use the parallel (printer) port or USB port. 
All programmers function flawlessly on systems running 
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. 
All programmers are driven by an easy-to-use, control 
program with pull-down menus, hot keys and online help. 
Control program is common for all these B+K PRECISION 
programmers (865, 866, 864, 844USB, 844A, 848, 848A and 
849). 
Advanced design, including protection circuits, original brand 
components and careful manufacturing allows us to provide a 
one-year warranty on parts and labor for these programmers 
(limited 25,000 cycle warranty on ZIF socket).
