Programming Static RAM with a PIC16F877A
I’m currently working on my own Z80 computer and one crucial part that I don’t have is ROM, or more precisely, an EPROM programmer. I found that they are very expensive and heard that programming an EPROM chip takes ages, so I needed another solution.
Since I have SRAM chips lying around, I thought I’d use one of them to store the program. I would need to load a program into it somehow, and since it’s volatile memory I would need to repeat this process every single time after I cut off power from the board.
