Ah, there's a rather poor quality pic (due to my camera and its not
liking close objects than my photography as such) at

I did use this programmer about 10 years ago when the manual wasn't
lost and I recall if you were programming more than a 16K device, you
had to use the switches and program it 16K at a time, it's also
excruciatingly slow, lol
