Re: Memory Upgrades

If you're shopping, I have found that this is a very useful universal burner: http://sivava.com/

It comes from Thailand or something, but it will do quite a few different kinds of chips.  I know there are cheaper ones out there, but I can't speak for the quality of those units.  I actually got another one before this one and it just flat didn't work for old school UV EPROMs.  I think it might work for other things, but I passed it off as junk.  Be sure to power the burner with a healty "wall wort" and not the USB power.  I use a 13.5 VDC connector in the 12V plug to ensure a positive burn.
