True--and for those of us who already possess the UV eraser and
programmer, they can be convenient, particularly, if as mentioned
earlier, one has a pile of them erased and ready to go. (My eraser
usually has all the trays populated with erased EPROMs--every time I
erase a batch, I move the tray of the oldest (least recently erased)
to the "ready to program" parts bin.
But the OP apparently owns neither the eraser nor the programmer. So
a more modern solution might be far more economical and practical.
If an FRAM or EEPROM were used, there might well not even be a need
for a socket on the project.
