Yes, both the hardware version and the demo of the software version. 
You have to have Windows 98 and be on an LPT port for the software 
version to work. They also advise turning off printer and resetting 
computer before using or it will hang- it gave me a GPF- I didn't 
reset computer first, but I sure had to afterward.

The hardware version I use on the T007 and T009 cart (for 1280). With 
the T009 cart you have to put a plastic shim under the white cube, 
which makes it harder to line up the contacts- they're not being 
guided as well. So you have to watch closely that you hit the right 
spot, although it will still be guided "fairly". There is also no 
light or feedback of any sort to tell you it was sucessfull. 

There is another hardware restter available at WeInk which I think is 
from Lyson(?)which has a light on it. The chip is reset before it is 
put on the cart and it has a signal light. I have not tried it.

The software version you saw is available at MIS and WeInk both.
