40-pin ZIF universal programmer
The GQ-4X4 is a USB-powered universal programmer built around a 40-pin ZIF socket. It targets engineers, hobbyists and repair technicians who need to read or write a wide range of EPROM, EEPROM and flash devices without juggling multiple adapters.
16-bit EPROM adapter expands support
The bundled 16-bit EPROM adapter adds 42-pin PLCC44 compatibility, covering devices such as 27C160, 27C322, 27C1024, 27C2048 and 27C4096. Without the adapter the 40-pin ZIF socket handles 28F102, 27C400 and 27C800 directly, while larger 16-bit parts remain unsupported.
Lifetime software updates included
Software version 7.11 or above ships with the unit and receives free lifetime upgrades, adding new device definitions and multi-language support. The true USB interface supplies both power and data, so no external AC/DC adapter is required for portable use.

Questions about this item
Will the 40-pin ZIF socket on the GQ-4X4 programmer accept the older 27C400 and 27C800 EPROMs I still use?
Yes, the 40-pin ZIF socket supports those devices directly, and the included 16-bit EPROM adapter adds 42-pin PLCC44 support for parts such as the 27C160, 27C322 and 27C4096.
How can I verify the GQ-4X4 is operating correctly after I connect it?
Launch the GQUSB software version 7.11 or above; it will detect the programmer automatically, show the hardware version GQ-4X4 and let you run a self-test or read a known good chip to confirm operation.
What ships in the box and what must I source separately?
The package contains the GQ-4X4 programmer with 40-pin ZIF socket, one black USB cable for power and data, and one 16-bit EPROM adapter (42-pin PLCC44). No other cables or adapters are included.
