<br>
I don't know if anyone else is interested but I'm currently building <br>
a EPROM-EMU-NG <a href="https://github.com/Kris-Sekula/EPROM-EMU-NG" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/Kris-Sekula/EPROM-EMU-NG</a><br>
<br>
I only wanted the one, but min PCB order was 5 boards<br>
<br>
So if anyone else wants to build one of these I have several PCB's, free <br>
to a good home.<br>
