Rick,

I have one just about done.  It accepts an Intel HEX file directly, burns
the code space appropriately.  It is activated by pulling a pin low on boot
(has pull-up for normal operation, and can be still used for other purposes
after starting normal operation).

This can't be tested because I don't have a chip, but it "works" on a '77.
