MP-R EPROM Programmer

The SWTPC EPROM Programmer and its accompanying software is a plug on option
for the SWTPC 6800 Computer System. It is capable of programming any Intel 2716
(5 volt only) pin compatible EPROM. EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory. Each 2716 is capable of storing 2K bytes of data and may be erased
and reprogrammed up to one hundred times. The 2716 is erased by removing the
opaque window cover from the top of the package and exposing the device to high
level ultraviolet light for a specified amount of time. This amount of time will
vary so consult the literature supplied with the ultra-violet light source that
you plan to use. After erasing be sure to recover the glass window with the
opaque cover. The 2716 can actually be erased by ambient sun and fluorescent
light over a long period of time.

Introduced by Southwest Technical Products Corporation in 1978???. The MP-R
kit cost $45
