Hi, I just hooked up my own 8pin socket as noted in the readme file.  Im
still haveing problems.  I go to program and the program light flashes for
about 1/2 second.  This is what I got before I tried programming the chip:

Line #1 is the only one that changed slightly.  I'm assuming after doing
this that the chip can no longer be programmed.  12c508 chip.
