sorry. I had my share of grief programming bipolars back in the 80's--lots

irritation.
I could I guess if I really need one programmed I could find
somebody on the list. Prom burning is still needed ( not food
burning like my supper here) to repair older machines.
Still, my inclination would be to use a PeeCee if I
had to do the job.
Somehow, keying in and checking 1536 dgits (you did say "octal" didn't
you?) for every EPROM doesn't appeal to the lazy person in me.
But all the low cost EPROM programmers use a PeeCee not todays
CRAP!I was looking at the low cost one and DAMIT software
will not run under the windows I have. Stupid software protection.
Having a printer port is NOT my idea of open hardware.

Back to the design ... any market for a 20 bit cpu. :)
Buy 3 or more and I'll throw in a few extra bits too.
