Quoted from Phat_Jay:Hi guys, I have a tl866, but it won’t burn the 25v chips. I need to burn some 2532’s which are 25v. Is the gq-4x reliable for them? From what I’ve read here it should work, just need to know for sure as cash is tight and rather not buy another burner if it won’t work for me. Thx again guys, I kno very little about this.
Hi,
I've both a TL866CS and a GQ-4X (and some others ... ).
The GQ-4X should be able to burn the old TMS2532. Never tried it, but my experience it that all chips announced by Mcumall have been really tested (not like some chineese programmer like Top series....).
The GQ-4X can burn the old 2716 and 2732 at 25v without problem, of course it need an external power connected, but it works fine. Same for the A version (21v) or B (12.7v).

As you know, the pinout of the 2532 from Texas Instrument is a little bit different from the 2732.
Looking at the software option, the GQ-4X has the ability to program the 2532.
But only read the 2532A.

May be you can take a look at the Mcumall forum, there is a topic about 2532 programming here:
http://www.mcumall.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2917
This seems to confirm that the 2532 @ 25 volts can be programmed, from Texas (TMS2532) or Hitachi (HN462532), but the 2532A can only be read with the GQ-4X.
Note : keep your TL866CS - it's a good device that work fine, but has some limitation (no more than 21v VPP). The GQ-4X can't program the PAL/GAL (sometime used in pinballs), but the TL866CS can.
