EPROM burner

[icbrkr]

As I get more and more involved in 5200 programming, I'm sure I'm going to want to try it on a real 5200. Where to get an EPROM burner and "blanks" (CDR term! )? Also, anything else I should know about em?

And how do we use them?

How much do they cost?

Great info on this.... now I have another question:

 

Is there any sort of battery backed up "flash cart" that can be made/bought for the 5200? In other words, allow me to modify a cart to take a flashrom, and battery backup so I can dump an image temporarily into the cartridge (there's one available for construction for the Sega Master System). This might be easier than burning EPROMs to test stuff out.

I started to design one before I got my burner. But it turned out that the EPROM burner is just fine on its own. I do most of the testing on the emulator anyways.
