[K12OSN] Affordable Eprom source

[Tim Born]

Mel -

If you need more than a few, you might invest in a chip burner, snag the 
boot code from rom-o-matic and use the guide from etherboot project:
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/burningroms

If you get all that working you can source boot rom chips for the rest 
of us.
