Ah, but that only copies EPROMS. You would have to go buy a PCB, draw little
traces on it, etch it, drill holes into it, buy your resistors/chips/capacitors
and all that other stuff and solder them in... It's not very easy to do it
that way. You can copy nintendo cartriges though :-)

BTW... my email address has changed
It's now daveh@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu
