I'm starting to play with my new eprom programmer (an MCUmall GQ-4X)  and want 
to make some new kernal roms and other roms for some of my machines ;-)

At last night's TPUG meeting there was mention of the ROMS in the original 
C64... well, they are 24-pin "2364"-type roms. Normally to burn a replacement 
ROM you would use a 2764 EPROM, which is a 28-pin chip, and you would need an 
adapter. But, you can also use a motorola 68764 eprom which is a direct 
replacement 24-pin chip.

Unfortunately it seems my new burner doesn't (yet) support that chip, so I will 
need an adapter.

Also, the person at the meeting with the EPROM adapter 
boards from ebay, would you have an item# or storename of where you got them? 
I looked and can't find anything. I also googled for non-ebay sources without 
luck... 

And lastly, does anyone know of a good place to get blank eproms? 2764 or 27128.

Thanks,
Steve
