I'm not quite sure which bulb the G8T5 is, but I should caution most
readers who want to try this. When you get any UV bulb or "black light",
don't get any translucent bulb (ie: with any sort of phosphor coating).
Instead, get a bulb which is clear, and has teensy blobs of mercury
inside. This'll get you pure UV which will get you the most germ-free
EPROMs in the world! ;^)
