Thanks, I doubt that I will be building anything myself anymore.
This would not do anyway, it is for programming PIC chips, I want
EPROMS. PIC chips are processors with read only memory on the chip.
EPROMS are 1970's technology, read only memory chips that can be
programmed with a high enough voltage, and then erased with ultra-violet
light. They were a big step above PROMs which were programed one time
only by literally burning the silicon away.
EPROMs are still made today, in fact while you can buy them for about $1
each pulled from old equipment in China, you can buy electronically
identical current production ones in modern packages, they are about
$40 each.
The generic burners are cheap enough, under $50 including postage on
eBay, but none of them have software that actually works under 64 bit
Windows. Since I also have a computer running linux on my desktop, I
thought I would look there.
