[Gmecm] Can I burn the eeprom using a picstart plus programmer from Microchip?

[Steve Ravet]

Joshua, if your picstart software has a setting for programming EPROMS
then it will work.  But if it's list of supported devices is only PICs,
then it won't work.  I suspect this will be the case.  You can go to the
gmecm page (www.diy-efi.org/gmecm) and read the FAQ to learn about
burners and erasers.  But before investing your money there, look into
upgrading your computer to use a flash chip instead of an EPROM.  Much
easier and faster.  There should be some info in the gmecm archives, if
not search in the diy_prom section of thirdgen.org.
