The serial data link is a nice idea. I think that PSIO supports a USB link though that could achieve something similar. I've not tried it out but it is an option for me.

I like the improvised EPROM programmer. I have some older Willem based ones that operate over the parallel port and require jumper settings. I'd really like to get a newer USB one someday.

Looking forward to seeing you put the connector and EPROM together. Then maybe the next step would be to design a PCB to go from the connector pins to a EPROM socket.

Thanks! 😁

It might be possible to do this with the PSIO as well. Can't verify it, though.

And yeah, I should definitely get a real EEPROM programmer for future projects.
