Petrus HilariusAchievement unlocked? I am now the "proud" owner of a "Spectroline PE-140T/F" UV EPROM eraser. 😲 😎 And so far four of my 10 EPROMs have been erased successfully. This is a "solid metal" unit not the flimsy plastic stuff from China. But ... I am a LITTLE scared of it. 😅And <a href="https://chaos.social/@janbeta" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@janbeta</a> will be glad to hear that the timer on this one (a) works and (b) actually switches off the unit. 😬<a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/eprom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eprom</a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/uv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uv</a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/ErasingAsAService" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ErasingAsAService</a>

My ultimate EPROM mass amnesia device was finally made out of a toolbox, gutted fluorescent desk lamp's electronics and a sterilization lamp tube.

Ari [APz] SovijärviI got my hands on the modded Road Show L-6 software that removes the completely linear mode order. Really curious to see it in action.Also, this Xgecu burner is so lame compared to my Stag Solar, but this new toy is so much faster!<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/eprom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eprom</a>

wyattFor legal reasons I must state that this chip is in fact blank. I would never do something as illegal and wrong as writing my own ROM chip for hardware I own, that hasn't been manufactured in 30 years, when there's a company (that didn't develop it) which is actively licensing said ROM. <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/amiga" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#amiga</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/cloanto" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cloanto</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/retrocomputing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/eprom" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eprom</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/grift" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#grift</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/cbm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cbm</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/commodore" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#commodore</a>

Ari [APz] SovijärviHow do you install software updates onto an old pinball machine? Well, let's find out!The EPROM or Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chips are emptied by UV light, after which they can be rewritten again. All the classic solid state pinball platforms use them and it wasn't until long into 2000s when the machines first started seeing flash memory with USB stick updates and eventually direct updates from the Internet.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/pinball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pinball</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/retrotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrotech</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/eprom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eprom</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/mildlyinteresting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mildlyinteresting</a>

derSammlerGot one of these cheap <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/EPROM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EPROM</a> erasers from China to go along my T48 programmer.This is the cheapest, most crappy tech thing I've ever got from China. If you plan to buy one - don't! If you have one, consider no longer using it as is.This thing needs serious modifications to make it safe. It heavily leaks UV light, the mains cord is as thin as a hair, there is no fuse or any other protection inside. Oh, and that mechanical timer may stop working any time never turning the UV light off. This should cost 5 bucks, not 30. Or better, it should not exist at all.Having spent money on it already, I'll do what's needed to make it safe. But really, for an EPROM eraser, you should not look for the cheapest option. Otherwise you get this...<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>

Albeit a very sturdy and high quality one (made in UK) with a 30min auto timer.🥳 I think the height clearance should be OK and the space is probably enough for 1-2 eproms. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>
