Is a terminal application for controlling MiniPRO TL866 family of EPROM Programmers.
The README.md file includes instructions for building a .deb file for easy installation.
I don't know how many others may want to program their EPROMs from MX Linux, but since I don't have Windows on any of my personal machines, MiniPRO is my only option.

Thank you for your support and an excellent Distribution!
cheers,

Minipro 0.3 will appear in the MX-17/18 Test repo shortly, though it will take a while to migrate to all the mirrors.

I have no way of testing this so please let us know how it works.

It showed up in my mirror this weekend and I was able to install it from Package Installer.
I should be getting my MiniPRO today in the post, so hopefully I'll be able to take it for a spin tonight!
Thanks again for the amazingly quick support!!!

MiniPRO didn't show up. Should have it tomorrow. I'll try to keep you posted.

Cheers,

Got my MiniPRO today!
Only took a few minutes to get the firmware copied to the EEPROM and it worked like a charm!
That is a win for me. I'll presume any other test-case fails are minipro's problem and not the MX package!
Thanks a million!!!
