This is the first time I’ve given anyone a (semi) hard time on this forum, but it is perplexing that an obviously smart guy finds searching the internet to be so burdensome?
Just like I found that Pioneer drive firmware in about 2 seconds, I found the latest ASProgrammer just as fast.
The quality of the pictures you attached for this chip are not very good. That usually wouldn’t matter, but the poor quality pics make the pins look like they’re in terrible shape. If you can’t get a good clamp (for whatever reason), you may need a new clip. If the pins are in really bad shape, you may have to use the individual alligator clips.
EDIT1: Sorry for not reading the above more carefully. Not sure what magical older program that is, but if I can find it, I’ll post it.
EDIT2:This video at about the 23:30 mark shows the exact same programmer software that googling CH341A Mini Programmer (Black Edition) By_NSC brings up as a first hit: CH341A MINI PROGRAMMER (BLACK EDITION).zip
It has that chipset (also shown in the video).
