All these "solutions" seem like a heck of a
lot more work than the EPROMs they're meant to replace. I mean, used EPROM chips are
fifty cents each or less, and they are quite easy to get. Even if you're doing code
development, changing the code in the chip many times a day, having a dozen chips on hand
would be the simple, cheap way to go. Erasing them isn't that big a deal.
Yes, 2732s (and below) are still easy to get - even for free. I may
still have a bunch, unless Ian has culled them out of my EPROM box.
Now 2704s are a different story. I found a board with a few of them
digging thru all this CDC stuff. Of course I had to rescue them...
