Hello again! Is there no one on the list that knows anything about Sharp eeproms - whether they need to be programmed somehow or should work out of the package? Below is my original post. If I hear nothing back from anyone, I will assume that no one knows and I will leave it at that. My previous posts on this set can be searched if you retain emails in your email program. If not, and someone needs a history, I can provide that. Much thanks to anyone who can possibly float me some info on this.
