I have a Bytek S125GL.  I have had many problems with it:  late delivery,
the serial port was DOA, in spite of claims several advertised features 
did not work (such as set programming on 2732's).  They sent the wrong
cable.  After the port was repaired and the firmware updated - it worked
for a while - then the memory failed.  I fixed that myself.  Now the
serial port is broken again!  This piece of junk cost about $2200!
