I'll check that again later.  I am not sure we're on the same page here.

Great plan.

Hm.  I have no idea about those specific eproms but have seen schematics for
eprom burners here and there over the years.  Haven't looked lately as it never
seemed like it was worth it to me personally.

There is a REALLY sad statement.  No wonder the Chinese have been able to hack
into gov't servers so readily now that they've got a licence to kill from
MicroSoft.  Only eight billion dollars too.

Perhaps you could save yourself some grief by getting the Chinese to do your
income tax which should satisfy both Bill G and the IRS.  Right?  ;-)

Life is good,
Maurice
