[urq] urq Digest, Vol 102, Issue 4

Gary,
That's OK, but I got a bunch of new Hitachi (same as original - I like 
OE parts whenever possible just because) EPROMs for a lot less on ebay.  
   I think good used ones sell for $2, but probably aren't worth messing 
with when new ones aren't much more.  I wouldn't go out of my way to 
grab any unless you just have to have some, or if you like repairing old 
video games.  Considering that I have chipped or repair maybe five 
MAC-02's with bad EPROMs in the last ten years, I think I have a 
lifetime supply.

Years ago the only place I could find these was a video game repair 
shop, and they tried to bend you over for them.   Now with google and 
ebay they are easy to find.   I wish other parts were the same.
