Hello from Canada,
My name is Stephan, and I live in Canada's capital city (Ottawa) .
I had my formative teenage years living through the 80's,
... and I never really let go.
From my collection of old Commodore PC's ( Pet, Vic-20, C-64 )
to my collection of full-size arcade games (...yes, I have a full-size PacMan arcade cabinet in my basement !),
to my ridiculous knowledge of every single synth band of that decade,
..I really am an 80's child...
My passion has led me to an unusual hobby, of programming old PROMs and Eproms,
... for just about any device from that era.
I started doing this for myself to fix my old arcade games,
but word got out, and I started getting ALOT of requests...
So much so, that I started a little chip programming business,
... and 15 years later, I have over 50,000 proms and eproms in stock,
as well as 17 different programmers !
I can program almost any proms or eprom,
and even have those uber-rare 24-pin 8kb chips (MC68766)
found on early Apples and Commodores.
I was introduced to this site by several people who are currently members,
and have asked me to program various chips for them.
So I figured I would join the forum myself, revel in the early days of 8-bit computing,
and help fellow collectors find old, outdated proms.
I'll post more specific info in the "market place" forum ,
but if anyone is curious, you can type in my username as a web url,
and you should find my site.
[ NB. It has not changed since I first created it over a decade ago,
so it's VERY outdated, and not very "app-friendly" ]
But if you have any questions, e-mail me ( info@.... ) or message me here,
and I will be happy to help.
Cheers,
Steph
