Oddly enough, I don't believe I've ever had anything that required 2708's,
though several of my old Multibus boards use them if one wishes. 2716's and
later were obviously the part of choice. At least one of my old S-100
programmers handles 2708's, but, in spite of that, and in spite of the fact I've
held onto a supply of the things for years, I've never had to use one.

Well, _I_ certainly do, but then I'm not the person who can't program
2708s :-). I think at least one my programmers can manage those, and
maybe even the 2704 (512*8, otherwise similar to the 2708).
However, even though I can program them, blank 2708s are getting hard to
find over here, so it's nice to have a way to use easy-to-get cheap parts.

2764s are available everywhere and are cheap. And _every_ modern
programmer can handle them (I've seen a few programmers that can
handle nothing smaller than the 2764).
Heh heh. Don't we all collect classic programmers as well?
