And i just wanted to ask a question about how to toast an EPROM. It's a hardware question, so it's allowed here, right?
Ahhh, it's too late. Looks like my museum notebook is almost done with toasting.

Bah - that's too easy. Now - toasting WITH an EPROM - that takes control... 
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

No. That would be all too easy to do if I accidentally jumpered the wrong VPP (the voltage for the programming pulse).

So, what do you propose instead?

Well in this case I invite you to communicate directly with either the moderation team, so that this kind of post is finally authorized in the Lounge, or to @code-witch if you think he is abusing the forum.
In my opinion, he is not; he is not asking us to help solve/understand a development issue. This is more a conversation a team of developpers would have around a cup of coffee during their pause, imho.

Don't take it personal. I don't care either way, I just wish people would be consistent.

I trust people, at least most of them on this forum, to be as consistent as possible. I just don't think both questions are in the same category.
I'm not taking it personally; since this is not the first time you do this remark and it seems to annoy you, why not opening a discussion about that in the appropriate forum? It could enact a better formulation of what is allowed and what is not on the Lounge. And if you really don't care, then let it go

In this case you may be right. However, I have often seen newcomers post questions similar to code-witch (who is a woman by the way) and they get told off by frequent Loungers. But then have no problem having code-witch's facebook feed dump right into CP.
phil.o wrote: And if you really don't care, then let it go
I think you misunderstood what I don't care about. I DO care that CP is clickish. Why? I don't know. It's just annoying. People annoy me. I should have been born a deer. Let's hope for reincarnation. 
And each time I have brought it up I get ignored or argued with, like you here, so bringing it up elsewhere won't do any good.

You get ignored or argued with. What other option do you expect?

Indeed. The world would be much better if everyone thought like me.

Stop it. I could have sworn I've seen you tell others that you are a woman. However, please do not send pics either way to prove your point. I believe you. I was wrong.

I have an old notebook which I only use to toast EPROMS, sample the Elf's old cassette tapes (or as digital recorder when I save something with the Elf) and to run terminal emulation, also for the Elf. It has one of the first Intel Celery processors. THE CD drive has been dead for almost 20 years now, but for the other stuff it's good enough, even if it's a museum piece itself.
I just started it for the first time in a while - and it tried to boot from the supposedly dead CD drive. That CD must have been in there for ages and it never even try to boot from it. Now it did and promptly complained that the (copied) CD is not quite readable.

Seagate oder Seagate nicht.
That's a pun on 'sie geht oder sie geht nicht', which means 'it works or it does not work'.

The EPROM is now toasted and verified. Now I only have to wire up the data bus on the breadboard and then...
Then i will need a little more time to check a few hundred wires and measure all voltages before I toast some ICs which may be hard to replace. But then...

Google suggests that "sie geht" on its own translates to "she goes".
...straight to trash heap, she does.

Yes, if you translate it literally. The grammatical gender for a harddisk is indeed feminine and another mistranslation for 'geht' would be to say that it walks.
