Windows Software

Download RomSteer Programming software for Steering Machine here:   http://www.atiheitz.com/Romstr.html
 (Link opens page that includes software and installation instructions)

Download latest Needham's programmer software here:    http://www.atiheitz.com/ download/empwv1_7.msi
(Note Needham's is no longer in business so this is the last version that will be available for the EMP-10, EMP-11 and EMP-100 programmers)
Previous version (1.6): http://www.atiheitz.com/ download/empw1_6.exe

We currently ship Batronix programmers: Batronix BX-40 Bagero 
using Prog-Express software: http://www.progshop.com/shop/software/prog-express/index.html
These are USB-powered and are small enough to easily fit in our "red boxes", which was a problem for most programmers.
Unfortunately we have not found a local distributor, so they ship from Germany.
