- As you said, you will need utilities to split the S-record file into
- even- and odd-byte S-record files, then run these two through Intel
- hex translators before feeding them to the EPROM programmer.

- One thing that has perplexed me for a long time is why both manufacturers
- use different code storage methods? I think they must stem from early
- microcoding days when these formats were how the microcode images were
- set out be each company.
