With regard to testing I've the following programmers:

* (old) M4A785T-M with W25x80 DIP8(with and without coreboot) => works fine
My contributions to this wiki are available under the following licenses:
* (old) X60 with coreboot and MX25L1605 => works fine
* [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode CC-BY-SA 3.0]
* Arduino uno and duemillanove (serprog based) => 5v only, which is problematic
* [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode CC-BY-SA 4.0] or later
* openmoko debug board (FTDI based) => worked fine until broken in lastest svn at the time of writing,also had speed issues with some chips...

* (really old) 3com Nic => works fine
 
* some (really really old) reaktek cards but without chip on them.

* linux_spi compatible hardwre... => works fine too so far...
* Easily available external flashers.
* An atahpt that doesn't work when adding its PCI IDs(but atahpt are known not to work according to the mailing list)
* BIOS->Coreboot flashing on the Libreboot compatible laptops.
* A very old AGP Nvidia card(I didn't test it yet)
* NIC flashing (to flash ipxe)
* A recent geforce 210 that didn't work when adding the PCI IDs
* GPU flashing (to flash sgabios)
