[sdiy] PROM Replacement for Spider

[jpdesroc at oricom.ca]

That's what I use for programing all my special chips .

What did you use for a programmer!? That's a pretty unique (oddball)
part: 512 *bytes*.  No matter what parallel chip you use, it's going to require an adapter of some sort.  2732 looks closest, assuming your programmer can handle it. Otherwise I guess it doesn't really matter. 
How are the control lines E1*, E2*, S* attached? One for chip select and the other two grounded (or perhaps one to an address line)?

IM6654 is a 8x512B device so could using a AT28C512 on an adapter do the trick?  My PROM/EEPROM knowledge is limited so any help would be greatly appreciated.
