Hi.
        It is not so dangerous, and the probability of failure is low.
However, you should know it exists.
        Probably, you need to expand the .zip into something 128K size.
Put that on a floppy and look for an electronics shop or someone
with an eprom programmer. Buy a 128K eprom (surely 32 pins, put check
your mobo) similar to 27C1000. And tell them to "program the eprom";
if you say "flash the eprom" they will smile.

Starting point:        (-1)^(-1) = -1
Applying logarithms: (-1)*ln(-1) = ln(-1)
Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing:  -1 = 1
