You can easily use a PC's printer port for serial-EEPROM programming. You can use a device-programmer circuit used to program the MicroWire serial EE-PROM 93CXX (Figure 1). The circuit is so simple ...

We all know that solderless breadboards have their limitations. All that stray capacitance can play hell with circuits, especially high-speed stuff, but they’re so darn useful that avoiding t… ...
