   Or me. I have an old Pro_log programmer that will program them too. I
just need to be sure that I have the proper adapter to work with the
specific brand of blank PROM. (Every brand part is programmed differently).
In fact, I think I have a Stag programmer that will also program them. I
also have a stack of M9312s :-)

  It would be a dammed sight easier to use PROM boards that use EPROMs. But
I don't know if they're fast enough.
