Subject: Re: BBC Micro EPROM Programmer

Chris,

Thanks for the praise - it's been fun making the site!

Regarding your question, I can't help you directly - I never had an
EPROM programmer, and can't recall the article.  I've sent a copy of
this reply to the BBC micro mailing list - maybe somebody there can
help?

Cheers,
Robert
