I have a newbie question about Programmers and EPROMS. Will the programmer erase used EPROM's r will I have to also buy a Eraser? I knew it was a mistake to take up analog circuit theory instead of digital :-). Thanks for all the input... I am definetly going to atleast write one game before I start buy equipment.
