Shannen,
>From my own experience, I think your right - it's a wavelength thing; not
any old UV will do to erase eproms. I once had a load of eproms to erase
(150!) and tried using a UV exposure box for PCB artwork to do them all at
once..... no amount of time in there seemed to have any effect. Ended up
doing them 6 at a time in a proper eraser, 10 minutes no problem. I'm not
sure of the details of the required wavelengths, anyone got anything to
offer on this one??
