Flashing a Viper GC chip without a programmer.

Hi all,
I have a Viper GC (original non usb) chip that was flashed with GCOS 1.5 about 12 years ago, yet the programmer is now lost.
Is there anyway of reflashing this back to a Cobra bios without a programmer? I know it can be done via a dvd-r if Cobra is already flashed.
I already tried Swiss but it complained that the VGC file was not recognised/supported even though file managment was enabled.
Tia.

There's currently no way to reflash it without a programmer if you're not already running Cobra.

I can reflash it if you're willing to send the vipergc to me.

Australia. Or I can send you a spare parallel programmer but it needs a flex cable (and you can keep it)

I'm uk based. If you can send the programmer i'd really appreciate that. PM your details so can pay for the shipping and programmer.
Thanks.
