Thanks, I doubt that I will be building anything myself anymore. <br>

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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<div class="im"><br>
