Eons ago at Microdata we had a commercial grade bulk eraser which
could
do 2400' reels maybe a bit larger.
I wondered by one day with a new fangled device, a 16k eprom. while a
small chat developed by the table where
the eraser was, I casually put the eprom on the eraser, and turned it
on, just because.
one of my otherwise smart colleagues looked with a concerned look on his
face and then queried whether that
would work with the eproms.
don't know that he ever lived that one down.
Wish I had it, I'd certainly pass it along.
thanks
