Without adding anything to the original question - I disagree with
the statement that this is a rip-off. <br>
Business offering a service - nothing untoward with that.<br>
<br>
Having a quick look - there are some single eeproms from under $20.
$60 may get you a four chip set - all seems to depend on the number
of chips and possibly the particular chip variety.<br>
<br>
If you can do it yourself (or have a suitable friend) then, sure,
you may be able to do it cheaper - though it'll take you some time,
so depends how you value your time.<br>
Personally, I may sometime need an eeprom for a lexicon rack and,
while I'm somewhat tempted to invest the time & money on getting
myself to a point where I can DImYself, the asking price does not
strike me as unreasonable.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the blah blah..<br>
