I once again snagged another Universal Programmer at an unbeatable price, constantly expanding my device programming capabilities. This time, it’s the System General T9200 Universal Chip Programmer with a TSOP48-K9x-OT-500-S4 4 Gang TSOP 48 Adapter.

I located the System General T9200 Control Software V1.47Q 01/2025 with the May 2024 Chip List and wasted no time in installing it. Initially, during the unboxing, my attempts to connect via USB were futile. Quickly switching tactics, I connected via RS232, which not only established a connection but also triggered an automatic update of the programmer firmware. After a swift reboot, the programmer seamlessly connected, aced the self-tests, and identified the adapter. While the DRAM Test proved to be a time-consuming affair, relief came in the form of an option tucked away in the settings to disable it.

I Loaded up a random Device to see the programing Interface. The Programming Interface is Intuitive I will play with this more later on.

These boards, serving combined as socket adapters, feature several ground-off chips, including an unpopulated JTAG connector. Identifying these ground off chips may not be difficult, but it will require time and thorough examination.
