# Printed Circuit Board
Although it was originally designed as a one-off programmer to be used on a breadboard,
there are now some PCB versions.
## 28C256 PCB
I built a PCB version for the 28C256 and 28C64 chips because so many burns of these were
needed for a SAP-1 TTL breadboard computer. The PCB version with the ZIF socket was much
easier to work with, compared to prying the chips out of a breadboard without disturbing
any of the wires.
The [KiCad design files](https://github.com/TomNisbet/TommyPROM/tree/master/schematics)
are in the project repo.

## TommyPROM-32
A new PCB is in progress for 32-pin EEPROM and Flash chips. This design uses a set of
headers that allow any of the signals to the target chip to be re-routed. The default
configuration, with just jumper shunts installed, is wired for the SST39SF0x0 chips.
Many other chips, particularly if they follow JEDEC standards, can be supported be adding
just a few jumpers.
Chips with few pins can also be supported. There are power pins in place to support
28-pin and 24-pin chips with a shunt to the correct VCC pin.
