Thanks, i had a feeling it would require a programmer. Is it possible to pick up a programmer for a cheap price? Is there a specific one i would need to get? Is it possible to switch out an EPROM for an EEPROM?
Yes, it is possible if they are compatible and you program them outside of the board. But you surely need to check for pin compatibility. If you intent to do the programming on the board, then you need the exact flash/eeprom chip that the board manufacturer has planned for.
Regarding the programmer, google for TL866 and read recent forums posts to find out which model to buy. I don't have it myself. I bought a Batronix programmer, that is quite expensive (130€) for what it can do, but it is very reliable and the software is good. I didn't do much research before buying. I guess I would invest in something else, if I would buy one again.
