ethenet card eprom burner

I'd severely doubt it. Many NICs have a socket for a boot (E)PROM, but that is the extent of it IMOE.

What kind of eproms ?

Partially true.

In the old days, some brands of NICs would, after minor modification, allow for an EPROM in the bootprom socket to be programmed.

This 'feature' was mainly used to reprogram EEPROMS from early EEPROM bios motherboards. (Current motherboards use EEPROM chips that simply don't fit anymore :-)

One other thing you may have read: any NIC contains some exclusive data, mainly it's MAC address. On some boards, this can be reprogrammed. But there is hardly any need to reprogram it at all. And in the rare cases where it is desirable, spoofing the MAC address is much easier.

Not EPROMs, but EEPROMs.

Note that some NICs may wire the WE* pin to +5V in which case you will not be able to program the EEPROM, unless you rewire the card.

Are you looking for an eprom burner ?

Possibly.. I'm wanting to make a custom Super Nintendo cartridge.. I believe that it requires an eprom not a eeprom, but I'm not really sure...

It's probably easier to get a much more capable Willem EPROM burner, they're only about $40 these days, I love mine.

Either one will work, an EPROM is UV-erasable, and EEPROM is electrically erasable. Of course it has to be a parallel EEPROM, not serial.
