    Here's some info on the burner and eraser that I use:

    They've been very reliable. Just don't try using it with any Win NT platform (2000, XP) or you'll be rather unhappy with these.

    will those burn/erase devices work on any old style eprom (i.e. Atari, Coleco) or do you need a specific one for each system?

    They work on all EPROMS, at least anything I've ever had to work with, from Atari 2600 up to Super NES.

    I work at a company where we make our own firmware, so we have about 4 eeprom burners here. We have a gang programmer here that does 10 at a time, but all it is used for is boring telecom code!

    Actually, I have XP installed and would like to get a SNES burner. Are they any burners that work with XP?

    I have a Data I/O Gang Programmer that allows me to program 8 devices at a time and it works well with 95/98/ME/XP. This is comercial model, that I would not recommend for personal use due to cost. I know people have had good sucess with the "Pocket Programmer", and a handful of other cheap solutions.

    I've looked in Nuts'n'Volts and other electronics mags and I see dozens of different models that vary greatly in price. What basic features do you need for cart ROM programming, how much should it cost, what is the best model(s)?

    Since this seems to have become the eprom burner thread of choice...

    has anyone heard of a burner that will work in linux? I have a spare drive I can use if I have to to install windows on, but I'd really prefer to program on my home OS.

    I have an EPROM burner question as well. I have one that is for an Apple IIe and I was wondering if anyone had the code for a console game on 5.25" floppy. And I wanted to know if that would work if say someone had the code for an Atari 2600 game on floppy disk could you burn it onto an EPROM, solder that to a circuit board and play it ona console?

    Thanks, y-bot
