Buy a commercial EPROM eraser.  Just don't get the one that has a piece of 
IC tube glued to a plastic box with a UV clothesdryer bulb and large 
ballast cap.  Get one with a real germicidal fluorescent-style bulb.  Do 
not attempt to make your own (too expensive, dangerous due to the UV which 
will cook your eyeballs and skin in short order).  Also, there is no 
substitute for an eraser.  You cannot use sunlight or normal fluorescent or 
tanning lamps.
