Awrighty...
1) I opened up a super-sized can of dammitallanyway, and found a used
Spectroline PR-320T for about $30 more; $130 shipped, give or take. I
*really* don't need that much of an eraser, but WTF - I guess I'm really
loaded for bear now. (the sucker'll do 42 eproms in 6-11 minutes... or so
the dox say) -- It's a $729 eraser new.
2) I read the HHC Basic eprom, it appears to have read good. Opening up the
.bin file in goatpad [ erm; notepad ] I found the 2-letter error prefixen,
the Microsoft Basic copyright thingy, and a reference to: NEIL K &
HENRY L ... I'm guessing these are the programmers; or at least the guys
who ported it over to the HHC.
3) So far, I have a list of people (4 currently) who want Basic chips... I
think this is fair[1]; and should cover my costs & whatnot: First Basic
chip: $8 - each additional Basic chip, $3 and US shipping of $3.50 (USPS
Priority). I'll throw in 4 extra empty[2] chips for free if you want 'em.
If you're not in the US, lemme know where ya live, and I'll quote ya the
difference in shipping... but with such a small package, I doubt it would
be much. (The last time I shipped something that small to Great Britain, it
was less than /pounds 5, IIRC.) Trades may well still be an option, but I'm
not willing to trade for an EPROM eraser anymore... ;-)
I'm throwing in the double-padded mailers, static bags, other whatnot, etc...
Anyway, lemme know what y'all think!
Laterz,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
[1] If you don't think so, lemme know!
[2] Now that I'll be able to make 'em forget en masse...
