I've tried to go the cheap route myself on this building one
with an old battery powered Flourecent lamp and went and bought
a 'purple' UV bulb. Waste of time. Not the correct type of bulb.
Just spend the $50 and get the timered DataraseII and save
a few hours of heartache.  Check out your local electronics
store or Digikey.  This will allow you to erase your chip in
a few minutes.  If you want to find out the principles behind
this you may want to check out Intel's site as I believe they
were the inventors of this type of mem.
