I agree w/Tony. Some things are not worth the effort of build vs. buy,
but an EPROM burner is probably worth it, especially for older stuff.

One, it gets easier every time!!! :-) Seriously, in this case it does.
There's a lot of inexpensive interface choices today, plus cobbling up
the algorithms in Perl or assembly or whatever is soooo much easier
today. Hell we have email today for when we get stuck.

Besides, Making Things makes you a better person (no joke there).
Writing software only feels like cheating to me.
