Interesting Universal EPROM Reader Cart

[FND]

Going through a box of Prototypes today I ran accross a old unusual item I had put away sometime ago

Its the same basic model as the more common homemade EPROM reader but this one seems to be done

on a more professional level, it has an anodized aluminum plate for the main label and also seems to have

a specificaly designed PC Board inside.

 

I guess My question is does anyone remember seeing this type of item being sold by any known company ?

 

Here are some scans of the item in different stages of assembly

looks like a developer's tool. Nice.

Yep. It's basically yet another homebrew 2K/4K EPROM cart. The nice thing about this one over most of them is how the guy made it so you could put two 2K games on a 4K chip.

Oh cool, Thanks for the insight I was curious what the 16k U & L might be used for.

 

Whoever made this one did a very nice job and had some pull as the PCboard is not a cheap

one considering it has the better edge connector and was specifically designed for this application,

also not a cheap process at the time.
