I think you've won! I wirewapped a "PC" with a 8008 and 2K of 2102 memory in early 75, but by the time my 1702s arrived the guy that I knew who worked at a place with a EPROM programmer had quit. I never did program the 1702s I bought for big $$$. Driving to the hill to toggle the control system in wasn't something I thought about (not for very long anyway!).
