In the January or Febuary Byte magazine (1985) a very inexpensive programmer
was shown by Steve Ciarcia. I am building one now and at the same time 
developing some Turbo Pascal routines to run it. (It is a serial interface)
The parts are about $40 if you go to Radio Shack. Less if you go to a real
electronics store.

Now if some one could build a cheap eraser, it is after all, just a light in
a box and how much could that cost?
