Suppose for the sake of argument that somebody had access to
a fair number of "One Time Programmable" EPROMS that were already
programmed. Is there a way (like, f'rinstance X-rays) to erase them
anyway? I'd ask the vendor, but I'm pretty sure the answer would be:
"Hey, cheapskate, buy new ones" :-), and Enquiring minds want to know!
(and I _am_ a cheapskate, so what...) I have to assume that they test
these puppies somehow, and a complete test at wafer-probe sounds unlikely
to me. So, should I run them through an airport security machine, get
friendly with my dentist's X-ray technician, find a good deal on
a used Therac ( 1/2 :-) ) or maybe just nestle them in next to the 1B3
in my old TV :-)
Any Suggestions? I'll take email and post a summary if I get
a usable suggestion.
