Hi Ray.=C2=A0 NIBL uses two 2716 eprom= s. Usuallh )n the forums you can find someone locally to program eproms for= you. Or you can can send me eproms and k will program or you can buy progr= ammed eproms on my tindie site

If you get them o= n tindie, it will charge shipping for the eproms and I can then just add th= e bare nibble board. They can all ship flat rate usps so no more than $11 I= think.=C2=A0
