Way back in the day, I used an ART EPP1, and I liked the serial
connection (as I could use it from any machine,not just a PC).
But, there are lots of options today. My primary interest is in
replicating CBM KERNAL roms, though I would not mind uC programming
capabilities.
What do other people use for eprom programming? I see a slew of Willem
programmers, but I don't understand why there are so many variants. A
bummer is that they all use the Paallel Port, as far as I can tell.
I have the 8052-BASIC based one that Steve Ciarcia had in an article in Byte,
and that uses a serial connection. Only at 1200 baud, though, for some
reason.
One of these days I gotta fix that... :-)
Replacing a CBM Kernal ROM is going to need an adapter, as the eprom has more
pins. Are you into making those or do you know of a source for them?
