careful on using it.
(The Lock-enable detection is failed to implement
on this verison. User has no way to know if a chip
has been locked or not on this programmer )
2. Add I28F004BX.

i.e. the name "E28F002BC-T TSOP" handles the TSOP
and the name "P28F002BC-T DIP" handles the DIP.
This separation was made so that the same 32pin DIP
adaptor can be used on both the 8908B and 8908D.

will keep the VCC during idle to solve the Ali's ERASE problem.
Oct. 26, 2001 1. Modify the "DoEraseCheck" and "EraseM8720", "Q-ER-MX26B".
Nov. 12, 2001 1. Add SST39SF040.
2. Add NX29F010 with no sector-protect/unprotect handling.
Nov. 15, 2001 1. Add MX29F080.
Nov. 20, 2001 1. Fix the bug of erasing a locked AT89C2051 of new die.
Dec. 04, 2001 1. Add EFST F29B002UA.
Dec. 14, 2001 1. Fix the bug of Upload which will cause all 0xFF received.
(Release Date: V1.48 21DEC2001)
Jan. 08, 2002 1. Add TL27E040.
Feb. 08, 2002 1. Modify the "ChipEraseAm29W" to replace <TempUnProtect>
and <TempProtect> with RP=VPP and RP=VIH, that means
no iFProtect value is involved anymore.
Feb. 15, 2002 1. Add W39V040FA, use the same algorithm as S49LF004.
Mar. 11, 2002 1. Add AM29DL320B/T.
Apr. 21, 2002 1. Add Pm37LV512, S29C51004.
Apr. 23, 2002 1. Fix the bug of word "FindEmptySocket" where it use "X5F555 C!"
to replace "$F555 C!".
Apr. 24, 2002 1. Add PM39F010.
May 02, 2002 1. Fix the bug in "FindEmptySocket", "Write00IS89Encrp".
May 03, 2002 1. Drop the VCCP from 6.25V to 5.25V to test MX27C2000A.
May 04, 2002 1. The Lock effect will appear only after the power is removed
for W78Exx devices which can't be done in PROM8908, we have to
update the iRESULT in "WriteW78E-Options" and modified
the "W78EForce".
May 06, 2002 1. Decrease the programming voltage from 5V to 4.75V for
EFST F49B002UA.
2. Replace "NVCCP" by "WrVCCP" in word "VPP-ON" to let the
programming voltage of VCC be controlable even for VPP is
less than 6V.
May 30, 2002 1. Add LH28F160BVE-T.
Jun. 03, 2002 1. Add W27E01/L01, W27E02/L02.
Jun. 12, 2002 1. Change the PT29C020 erase procedure to using the one of M8720's.
Jun. 13, 2002 1. Add Pm49FL004T.
2. Change the Erase Voltage to 12.0V for W27E/L01/E02/L02.
Jun. 21, 2002 1. Re-direct the MX27C2000A to M8720.
Jun. 24, 2002 1. Change the verify voltage of PM49FL002T to 3.6V
