Hi,

I am thinking of building a programmer for the 2708 EPROM, that can also 
read an EPROM and dump it to a serial port.

As 2708s are obsolete few moern programmers support them, apart from a few 
that cost many $100s. So I thought why not try and build one? I've found 
references to the following classic magazines, and I would be willing to pay 
a small fee for photocopies or scans of the articles:

Program your next EROM in BASIC. Schematic for a 2708 erasable read only 
memory reader and programmer which uses parallel IO ports to set data and 
address. The software to drive the programmer is written in BASIC.
Byte - March 1978 page 84 on (main article)
Byte - April 1978 page 62 (Byte Bugs)

How to program 2708 EPROM's using this circuit board and program.
Byte - April 1980 page 198 on (main article)
Byte - September 1980 page 321 (follow-on)

A Simple 2708 EPROM Programmer ... For the Motorola D2 kit ... Frank W. 
Summers.
Kilobaud - February 1980, page 138 (magazine is currently on eBay)

#638  2708 EPROM programmer.
Electronics Today International (ETI) - July 1978

Instead of money I can provide (or copy / scan articles) any of 24 issues of 
Byte from 1981 to 1997 (including 11 issues from 1986) which I don't want to 
keep. or I can photocopy / scan articles from nearly any copy of Practical 
Computing from 1978 to 1985 (which I do want to keep).

If you have built your own design of 2708 programmer and want to share that 
would be great too.

Thanks,
John
