emulator

[Mike Rolica]

Hey Dave... Can You sign me up for a board too?    I'm looking in the
archives as I speak to find more details, but from what Steve said, "I'm
there dude!" 
BTW Steve, I'm green but not that green :-) And to answer my own question,
yes it is like the commercial thingy Carprom :0)
  Thanks,

Mike Rolica

	Mike, an EPROM emulator is a device that plugs into an EPROM socket
but
	really uses a static ram (or maybe flash).  Advantage is that it can
be
	re-programmed in circuit quickly, at best without shutting off the
car,
	at worst you pull over, make changes, restart, and you're on your
way. 
	No EPROM programmers, no 30 minute wait for the UV eraser, etc.
When
	you're satisfied you burn one EPROM at the end.  I don't remember
the
	particulars of this emulator, but I'd guess that it also requires a
	laptop in the car for downloading changes, plus your favorite bin
	editing software.
