Introduction 
849  is a new generation of Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP 
based B+K PRECISION specialized programmers. 
Programmer is capable to support all today available 
Microcontrollers of MCS51 series (up to 40 pins) and AVR 
Microcontrollers (8-40 pins) by parallel and serial way. 849 has 
been developed in close cooperation with Atmel W&M., 
therefore programmer's hardware is focused to support all 
current and future Microcontrollers of Atmel W&M MCS51 
family. 
849 is little, very fast and powerful portable programmer for 
MCS51 series and Atmel AVR microcontrollers. 849 enables 
also programming of serial EEPROM with IIC (24Cxx), 
Microwire (93Cxx) and SPI (25Cxx) interface types. Using 
build-in in-circuit serial programming (ISP) connector 
programmer is capable to program MCS51 family 
microcontrollers and Atmel AVR microcontrollers in serial way. 
849 provides very competitive price but excellent hardware 
design for reliable programming. Nice "value for money" in this 
class. 
849 provides very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA 
driven hardware and support of IEEE1284 (ECP/EPP) high-
speed parallel port. It is surely faster than competitors in this 
category. 
849 interfaces with the IBM PC Pentium compatible or higher, 
portable or desktop personal computers. A programmer allows 
you to directly connect to your PC through any standard 
parallel (printer) port - no special interface card is needed. 
849 has 40 powerful TTL pindrivers provide 
H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read capability for each pin of 
socket. Advanced pindrivers incorporate high-quality high-
speed circuitry to deliver programming without overshoot or 
ground bounce for all supported devices. Pin drivers operate 
down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to program the full range of 
today's advanced low-voltage devices. 
The programmer performs device insertion test (wrong or 
backward position) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-
socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities, 
supported by signature-byte check help prevent chip damage 
due to operator error. 
Programmer's hardware offers enough resources for selftest, 
that control program is any time be able to check pindrivers,
