Abstract

The apparatus includes a socket (13) for receiving an EPROM (18) to be programmed, a telephone interface (11), an RS-232 port (14), and RAM storage 20. Each of the user elements can be a source or destination of data. A microprocessor (52), and an internal EPROM (54) which includes firmware for programming EPROM (18) control the operation of the apparatus, providing the operator a series of prompts through display 15 to which the operator responds through the operation of "yes", "no" and "cancel" buttons.
