Newer chips, with their EPROM cells smaller and packed more closely together, are not as sensitive to UV as the older EPROMs were. You would need to leave them in the sun for a long time. >Has anyone got a cheap alternative for erasing the EPROMS ? It's hard to beat the Datarase III. If you can find a germicidal bulb and put it in a standard fluorescent circuit or fixture, it will work. By the time you've put in provisions to prevent exposure to UV your're probably looking at about $40 which is what the Datarase costs. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
