Thanks for all the information everyone. I'm
really looking into

now, as far as building a computer from an off the shelf CPU such as a

or 6502. One thing that has occurred to me is that I will likely need an
EPROM Burner. Where can I get such a device for a modern PC?
Believe it or not, they're still being made. Here's one that works
with a PC parallel port:

Smallest one seems to be a 2764, but still, not too bad for a new
unit.
Not the best choice, IMHO, a better one you might find at
www.willem.org.
There are commercial clones as well, like the one from
www.silvotronic.de
(board, kit available through ePay for instance). I have bought a kit from
them and they work fine.
Another choice could be to use EEPROMs like 2816 or 2864/65; a very simple
but useful device for the PC parallel port is from Chris Ward at
http://home.freeuk.net/c.ward/6502/programmer.html.
