That EPROMs, EEPROMs and kin can be used as programmable logic should probably not come as a major surprise, but [Jimmy] has created a Lisp-based project that makes using these …read more Continue reading Using EPROMS and EEPROMs As Programmable Logic With Lisp
EPROMs, those UV-erasable memory chips of the 80s and 90s, once played a crucial role in countless electronic devices. They’ve become relics of a bygone era, but for enthusiasts of …read more Continue reading Working With Old High-Voltage EPROMs Is Fussy
If you wanted to create a VGA card, you might think about using an FPGA. But there are simpler ways to generate patterns, including an old-fashioned EPROM, as [DrMattRegan] points …read more Continue reading EPROM Does VGA
An article on the history of EPROMs in the Soviet Union by [Vladimir Yakovlev] over at The CPU Shack Museum caught our attention. It is part one of a series …read more Continue reading Exploring the History of EPROM in the Soviet Union
The Bad Apple!! video with its silhouette animation style has long been a staple graphics demo for low-end hardware, a more stylish alternative to the question “Will it run DOOM?”. …read more Continue reading It’s Bad Apple, But On A 32K EPROM
If you’ve ever worked on a system that loads its software from a ROM or EPROM, you know how much of a hassle it can be to make frequent changes …read more Continue reading Pi Pico Emulates ROM for Speedy Retro Hacking
Remember the Psion Organiser? If you do, chances are you were an early adopter, as the 8-bit pocket computer had its heyday in the mid-1980s. Things have come a long …read more Continue reading Proto-PDA Regains Its Memory with the Help of a Raspberry Pi Pico
The 68000 chip was ubiquitous in the computing world well past its heyday in the 1980s. It was used as the basis for many PCs and video game consoles, and …read more Continue reading Build A Barebones 68000
On the scale of things worth worrying about, having to consider whether your EPROMs will be accidentally erased by some stray light in the shop is probably pretty low on …read more Continue reading Just How Vulnerable to Accidental Erasure are EPROMs Anyway?
Everyone who builds embedded systems wants tools to help build and debug systems faster, so it isn’t uncommon to see boards outfitted with various tools like serial port sniffers. We’ve seen a few incarnations and the latest is Glasgow. The small board uses an FPGA and claims to do the …read more
