Thanks for all the information everyone. I'm really looking into everything
now, as far as building a computer from an off the shelf CPU such as a Z80
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?

<GRIN> What, like a logic probe...?
I figured if the OP was using an LED as a logic probe, then he might
not want to throw his filthy lucre after a commercial probe. It's
easy enough to toss one together out of hellbox detritus.
I don't actually have a logic analyser myself
(annoyingly), and tend to
reach for my logic probe long before I resort to digging out my 'scope.
I
find mine indispensible.
Same here; rather than set up a scope just to see if a line is
wiggling, a logic probe is much easier.
If the OP is in the UK, then Maplins do a nice
one for ?15 (which is
less
than I paid for mine back in 1980).
Radio Shack used to offer one for a reasonable price, but no
longer...
Cheers,
