 Someone asked us to explain what was involved in the non-EPROM conversion process and I thought it was a good question we hadn't covered before. ​ This page outlines the basic process. Someone asked us to explain what was involved in the non-EPROM conversion process and I thought it was a good question we hadn't covered before. ​ This page outlines the basic process.

 +After the CPU is removed, we have to install an adapter plug in its place. ​ The following picture shows a board after this step is complete (click to enlarge). ​ Note the careful solder work involved on those pins.
