The MOD_EMUP eprom burner

If you still find the need to burn (and read) eproms and work with GAL devices, you will be happy to have one of these perhaps. The biggest issue is that it requires a particular ISA card along with DOS based software to use it.

I put a lot of my reverse engineering work on Github:

I just discovered this project, which is recent and looks interesting: I began doing more work on this in 2026 and you can find the recent notes here: I haven't used that Freedos setup in several years, but there is a good chance it will still work if I dust it off and power it on again.
I am lucky enough to have the software from "the good old days" along with the necessary ISA card and cable. I use FreeDOS in lieu of MSDOS and that seems to work out just fine.

My older (and more comprehensive) notes are as follows. Some are migrating to the 2026 recent work area above as I get ideas about how to organize all of this.

Look under "test equipment" on the xmission site.
