With the release of BP Win 4.54, all newly manufactured device programmers will ship standard with USB 2.0 communication interface.
The new product line -- 1410/84, 1410/240,1610, 2610, 3610, 4610 -- replaces earlier programmer models that used a parallel port to communicate from the PC to the programmer.
New programmer models also reportedly feature an average increased programming speed of 20%.
USB 2.0 upgrade kits are also available for existing customers using 6th and 7th Generation manual programmers.
New device programmers are supported in Windows 2000 and XP.
