Anybody possessing information about prom programmers for personal people and their personal computers, please drop me a note (with the information). I'd prefer something that I could attach to a parallel (centronics) interface, or a serial interface, but I could make do with an S-100 card. Oh yes. Said personal prom programmer should be affordable by said personal person. Mark Mallett decvax!sii!mem or ittvax!sii!mem

There are many places that will blow a prom for you at a reasonable cost. Usually around $3 with either a sample prom or paper tape of contents. I wouldn't invest in one. I need one, and for $3 I will just send it out. Future electronics here in Toronto and in Montreal does this type of service. tj

I am building one now and at the same time developing some Turbo Pascal routines to run it. (It is a serial interface) The parts are about $40 if you go to Radio Shack. Less if you go to a real electronics store. --Chuck Now if some one could build a cheap eraser, it is after all, just a light in a box and how much could that cost? -- - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {qantel,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-}

the last article mentioned the Byte programmer. Are we talking PROMS or EPROMS. I consider these different things. The Byte version is an EPROM programmer. Active electronics in Toronto programs EPROMS and PROMS. Eprom Programmers are easier to buy. $99 will get you a great EPROM programmer with no hastles trying to build one... t.jones
