	For the price quoted above, I'd be VERY interested in getting one...
Having a few SBC projects in mind, it is damn hard to do the ML coding
debug, testing stage without a decent EPROM burner...  If you do design
one, please try to put in EEPROM capability too...  I'm convinced that this
is the wave of the future...
	Of course, good software will make or break the project.  I suggest
that in addition to the above mentioned stuff you add in standard HEX
file handling (ie Intel and Motorola format data files, etc...)

	Wait a minute, I was thinking about this one too!  :-)
