EPROM issues, who can burn? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
 Somebody needs to set up an archival site for EPROM
images, and we need to
come up with a regular/practical method of getting data burnt into a chip
for anybody that needs it. 
A few thoughts:

1.  Really, really old devices aren't well supported on even the best
modern programmers.  (The obvious example of this is the Intel 1702A.)
In many cases you have to go back to "classic" programmers to get these
programmed.

2.  Some devices (particularly PALs) with the security fuse blown *can* be
reverse engineered through either detective work or brute force.
