Best Eprom Programmer?

I don't think any cloud providers have drivers to make the contents available as a drive letter under DOS !

:)

I have a Linux server, so it makes it easy for me to do NFS. It has Samba as well, but I didn't find any good software for mounting a SMB share under DOS, so being that I worked for Sun and had a copy of PC-NFS I went that route. Makes it very easy to share files.... when I want them accessible to the burner, I just scp them into place.

What wasn't easy was getting pcnfsd working on a modern Linux.... and I still don't have it playing with iptables and selinux.... (I just temporarily disable those when I use the rom burner).

I used to use LAN Manager for DOS back in the day. Was able to mount Samba shares via TCP/IP that way. Not sure if it would work with modern Samba, since the authentication back then was horribly insecure.

Seconded. Now if I or somebody else could figure out how to make custom device definitions it'd also make a pretty nifty device tester :)

It would need more than a custom algorithm, I think. You've have to write new software to drive it and boot it off that disk instead of the normal one. Probably easier to start from scratch with a new design.

I figure you could somehow create custom device definitions to define pin mappings for 74xx logic, RAMs etc. and then use the logic verification feature to test the devices against a corresponding JEDEC test vector file.
 
And Isn't Mac OS X a version of BSD Unix?

Yes, although over the years since OS X was released, the operating system has grown further apart from its BSD roots.

The similarity to BSD is why I switched about 8 years ago. At the time, a lot of network/web engineers that I worked with were moving to Mac for the same reason. I've worked remotely in small teams for the past 6 years, so I can't comment on adoption in larger environments. However, for the MVC/LAMP applications I have worked on over the last several years, the development teams have used Mac/Linux environments. I believe changes introduced in Win10 have helped close the gap, and going forward it is hard to tell where OS X is headed.
 
I would say Cisco IOS powers the internet.

That little NUC that your running ESXi on is cute, but the big boys run ESXi on RAID5 in a rack mount redundant server.

I am a Cisco person so, yes, Cisco hardware does primarily power the Internet...Software-wise, *nix has it. Desktops, Windows is still majority but their market share has dropped....though I think that since they gave back the start button, it helped them....LOL


This NUC is the new i7 model with 32GB of RAM...so its being used as a home test lab for when I need to scope out custom designs for customers. I work from home most days.

Yep, the large customers certainly do use large, rackmount redundant servers. I would hope so.

The NUC is awesome...no monitor, keyboard, mouse needed...just sits in the corner with a power cord and ethernet cable plugged in. Its a network in a box.
