As I'm always on the look-out for some eprom programming stuff,
I find one guy that has this for sale ...

http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ300155135266

Which make my auction win on this
http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ270419876551
so much more satisfying !!!

( ...twice as big [PSX1000 Vs. PSX500] for 1/30th of the cost... ! )

Now I just need a new desk for this sucker !

Holy CRAP !

This thing is HUGE !

(it looked alot smaller in the pictures ! )

The packing "crate" would not fit in the trunk of my car (Honda Civic) !

It was bad enough I had no room for my games,
but now I've got no room for my "tools" !

Here is a picture of the beast, ...along with my "assistant"
(...everyone knows burning eproms is child's play ! )

Quoted from mrniceguy

Close... !

The shipping price on the auction said $35
(...which I knew was really way too low...).

After I paid for it, the seller comes back and tells me shipping is $116 !!!
(...he sends me the UPS receipt ), and asks if I'm willing to split the extra cost.

Since I got a good deal on the auction, ... and I knew the guy was genuine about his mistake,
I happily split the cost.

So shipping cost me $75.

(..but the "crate"   was 3' x 3' x 2' and weighed 94 lbs !  ...it was WELL packed ! )

So if anyone needs  24x the same eprom, lemme know !
