So upgrade to Vista but then you would have to throw away the desktop and get one with 2GB RAM or something similar, pay for the upgrade (hardware and software), and buy newer versions of all of your software as people may look at your older MS Office, or other software as "obsolete". What's worse, they don't have floppy drives anymore either on desktops so you can't even install a SATA HD driver which Windows XP demands be on a floppy disk during installation. Even if the desktop doesn't contain a parallel port, at least you can put in a PCI parallel port card in there.

He also has the 1Meg flash chips which are pin-compatible with EPROMs: The deal is still going on as someone seems to be liquidating their stock. I just got a good deal on the 27C512 which you can also use in place of 27C256, 27C128, 27C64 if you just duplicate the code and make the higher address bits don't care: I use an old laptop with win98se to burn the roms (my 'new' pc don't even have parallel and serial ports. Keep in mind that you also need the 16bit eprom adapter (to burn 40/42 pin roms like 27c400/27c800). I burn 27c400s, 27c256s all the time and a few 27c800s now and then and it hasn't given any single problem to me yet, aside from some burning issues which I relate to dead\dying roms. ![]()
