The heart of the EEPROM programmer is an ATmega8 microcontroller. The address bus of the EEPROM (up to 15 bit) is controlled via two daisy-chained 74HC595 shift registers using hardware SPI @ 8 Mbps.

Before reading or writing any EEPROM you have to build the apprpriate circuit to do so. You'll need a breadboard, jumper wires, and a 40-pin connector and cable to attach to the GPIO pins of the ...
