I'll make up a small wiring harness that'll let me do that, it'll give me
something to do while I'm waiting for my lady to ring :)

They're all stock MOS 2332 PROMs used in every CBM PET. Mike's already
linked to the archive and tonight I've successfully burnt the 8032-flavour
PETTEST.BIN so my programmer is happy with Ti 2532JL EEPROMS that I
liberated from work.
