Chip burning 101? (Or, newby questions II)

[Matt Cramer]

	Ok, now that we've discussed possibilities for donors and the approach to
getting parts for a junkyard EFI question, I've got to find out more about
how to tune these things.  Somebody (I can't remember whom, but thanks,
whoever it is) posted a link to where I can obtain software for custom
EPROMs, but I've got a lot more questions about them.
	First, what kind of device do I use to transfer the data from the computer
to the EPROM?  Where can I get one of these (or maybe plans to wire one
up?), and how much would it cost?
	Second, it seems some newer ECU's have programming transfered to them
through some kind of plug instead of through a chip.  Does this mean I can
get an appropriate factory ECU from a junkyard and tune it with a laptop
like an aftermarket unit?  If so, what are the pros and cons of these ECU's
vs ones that use EPROMs?
	Thanks!
