ChipCorder Programmer

I recently got an inquiry from a college student who is building a senior project using a ChipCorder where he wants to be able to play back roughly 70 individual short messages. The students project is to design a device that "talks" to the user. That is certainly one use that ChipCorders excel at, especially for a quick turn, relatively low volume application.

Unfortunately the one supplier of inexpensive programmers I was aware of no longer seems to be in business: Quadravox.

I asked my contacts at Nuvoton about this and they tell me that the Polish supplier, Marthel (http://www.marthel.pl/en/solutions.php#iprog) still makes programmers for all the ISD versions. I have sent off an email to the folks at Marthel to find out more information regarding their programmers. I'll deliver that info here once I get it.
