Message	So why are you trying to inflate the cost of getting a stageIII zcontrol EPROM? Zcontrol: Free EPROM: $2 each (Digi-Key) EPROM Burner: $130 shipped (Batronix V4) Socket Install: $25-50 (Free if you can DIY) Total cost comes in at under $182. Now granted the ASHSpec is what, about $300? But with the programmer I have the ability to burn chips that get revised, or burn chips for friends. There are plenty of people that use JWT chips, and like them. They are proven. There are also I suspect a few hundred happy ASHSpec customers. Now ZControl has only a handful of happy people, but like anything give it time. The greatest part about Zcontrol is it is entirely open-source and community supported. I hate fighting with you Ash. You're a very smart guy, and I really respect your abilities. Take care.
