[sdiy] programming eproms and file formats ?

[Curtin, Steven D (Steven)]

Here's a link on the Intex Hex format:

and a link to the moto Srec format:

they both do more or less the same thing, just in different ways.  The
hardest part to get right when generating them is the checksum.  If there's
a bunch of Ss at the front of each line, it's moto, otherwise it's probably
intel hex.
