Is there another open source programmer around?  or better one with USB support?

I got 2 type of universal programmers.  The higher quality one is
normally quite expensive to maintain, I have 2 needhams basically
sitting idle now.  Their software update is also not as fast as the
Chinese made programmer I have (runfei.com.cn) .   But runfei website
is having some problem.

Along the way, I also made various type of programming adapters  for
different needs.  To protect the investments on future adapters, as
well as to benefit from the flexibility of an open source programmer,
I thought an open source programmer with its increasing library and
longer lifetime should be more useful.

Comments?

Cheers, Ling SM
