Dont have any on line myself. However I've done it by hand and it's
not bad. Actually you can do a cleaner set without all the fluff
or with needed chars. One thing, the Eprom or EEprom needs to be
adaquately fast. Not a big problen with moderm parts but the old
2716 and 2732 were a tad slow.
The search string was a first try thing. So you may start with that
and tweek if for what you want. I'd be surprized if there isn't something
out there.

Is simple. Find a pattern you like in row or colum scan and convert the
bit pattern to a string of hex values and cook an Eprom/EEPROM.
