As I wrote on the same subject while reviewing an EPROM programmer
from a small American company (in MicroSystems, sometime in '83 or '84):

I also found out (without harming the board) what happens when you
put in the correct EPROM, but insert it upside down.
*The little light inside comes on.*
You didn't know there was a little light inside an EPROM, did you?
Well, there wasn't supposed to be, and it's not there anymore anyway!
