[Coco] ROM Development question

[Louis Ciotti]

Thanks guys... I have a uv eraser already, picked it up from an co-worker
when he reitered and cleaned out his desk, have not tried it yet, but it
should work , looks barely used.  An emulator would be nice, but I suppose
that those would have to be specific to the circuit used.  I wish I got
into this stuff 30 years agowhen I had gotten my coco, it would be easier
for me to learn!
