418796	2006-01-06 13:42:00	I have been using a certain EPROM for a while now and now I find out that it is no longer in production. I was told that I could substitute it with another chip. My question is how do I determine if the old EPROM can be substituted with the new one without damaging the device. Is there something I should look for that can tell me if it is compatible?	newguy100 (9556)
418797	2006-01-06 17:36:00	Just curious. What's an EPROM? :confused:	JJJJJ (528)
418798	2006-01-06 18:28:00	I didn't know that either - but Google told me. Try it -it's quick.	Laura (43)
418799	2006-01-06 18:45:00	Alright. Now I know what the word stands for. But I haven't a clue what it means. Guess I don't have it on my comp so now I've lost interest. And Laura I much prefer to ask here. Get a much more interesting and readable reply	JJJJJ (528)

My question is how do I determine if the old EPROM can be substituted with the new one without damaging the device. Is there something I should look for that can tell me if it is compatible? It needs both pin compatability and voltage compatability. If you gave us the old EPROM type number we could probably help, otherwise its a needle in a haystack.	godfather (25)
