Once someone has nailed down a cricuit diagram that works, and a program
to put into the EEPROM that also works, it wouldn't be too much of a
bother to get the person who developed the clone to burn EEPROMs for
people who were building them based on the developers design. All the
builder would do is send the EEPROM chip to the developer(it would take
nothing more than 33 cents in postage), the developer would burn it(would
take about 5 minutes for the whole process, then mail it back. I'm
nowhere near the stage of getting mine finished, but would be willing to
burn BS2 chips once I am.
