There is some info on the web about modifying the Vpp (Programming Voltage) section of the PCB 3b unit to make it more reliable when programming the old chips, but the PCB45 and PCB50 from Sivava are a bit different. DAMN!Ĭonsidering I do a lot of work on older pinballs, it was starting to look like I was going to have to spend at least US$300 on a much more decent unit, just so I could program the older ROM's.īut, after doing some research, I realised that the Sivava Programmer was actually a modified Willem PCB 3b.

It does program everything from 2764 onwards without too much pain - once you know the tricks - but the 2716, 25's are pretty much un-programmable with this unit. The "Advanced Willem EPROM Programmer" PCB45 or PCB50 by Sivava ( is probably the most common one on eBay (seller: sivavath), and at around AU$50 plus shipping, it is not a bad price. Unfortunately, the 4.1 is no longer available new from the Willem site: but the 4.5 may also do the job fine (I have not tested this unit though).
#Willem eprom programmer software update
Of the "official" Willem programmers, the version 4.1 is probably the best for programming ROM's for use in Pinball Machines from the early electronic ones right through until Stern changed their system to use a USB Flash Drive to update the software. furthermore, because the Willem programmers were/are an open project, there are many derivatives now available. There are a few sellers on eBay selling these units, but if you look closely, they are not the same. Considering the price of the Willem EPROM programmers, many people have bought them (including myself).
