You want to breadboard or wirewrap an eeprom programmer ?
Good God !!! and Good Luck !!! :-)
Read this when you give up and decide to buy a programer:
To be in fashion,
you will need a programer that does the C0X0-90 or faster (ie.,C020) family of
cmos eeproms. You will also need an asembler (that can handle 2 megs of code)
to translate your code into a hex file. But first you will have to de-
assemble the code in your eeprom in order to edit it, unless your bios
manufacturer will give you the source code. I dont think they would do that
but Im not sure.
IO devices makes excellant programmers.
Or you could get a hold of the program that updates your bios and hack it.
That might be easier and cheaper.
