Abstract
A PROM writer capable of writing data in a PROM by a writing algorithm other than that stored in the memory thereof without requiring the change of the system program. The PROM writer comprises a first memory storing a system program and a first writing algorithm, a second memory for storing data to be written in a PROM, a CPU which gives a command to write the data stored in the second memory in the PROM according to the system program, a third memory for storing a second writing algorithm, and an interface for storing the second writing algorithm in the third memory. The CPU gives a command to write the data stored in the second memory in the PROM by the second writing algorithm according to the system program.
