Some ICs (particularly old NMOS EPROMs like the 27128) suffer from "bit rot" during verify. The new version implements – the programmer lowers the programming voltage stepwise if verification fails, retrying at 0.1V decrements. This salvaged a batch of 1980s Intel D27128 that other programmers declared dead. The software's utility lies in its simplicity and
