2532's are still available used. If you have to order something why not order those instead of building an adapter for the incorrect chip? Unless you want switching.
Yes, I got a dozen or more, but they were twice as expensive than the adaptors with 27C512 EPROMs - and had a poor reliability, as well as increasingly hard to find at times, while the adaptor can use a wide variety of newer and cheaper parts that are easy to source... And the ability to run the real Commodore diagnostics is really useful too!2532's are still available used.

Here is the site (maybe you got another site because of the sh- prefix).No Hush lyrics? - lol - FYI, the Halbleiter.de site seems to be a blank site...

Most of the "new" eproms on ebay are old ones with their pins pressed straight again and dipped into a solder pot to make the legs look new. I hate getting these used "refurb" eproms covered in solder. I'd rather buy a good used pull and erase it myself than try to shove an eprom into a socket with extra thick legs covered in solder. Even worse - they remark the eproms so you have no idea what they really are! I've had to guess before to get some to program since they were incorrectly labeled.I never buy used IC's if I can avoid it. Because you don't know what abuse they have been subject to in the past.

You don't always get what is pictured either !! That is usually what happens to me.Good Lord no, I very rarely fall for fakes or refurbished pulls.
