 Features include:
 * Simple hardware design that can be assembled on a breadboard.
 * ROM images transfers using XMODEM - no special host client needed.
 * Support for fast block EEPROM writes - a 32K EEPROM will program in just a few seconds.
 * Optimized code that supports the timing requirements needed to unlock the 28C series
-Software Protection Algorithm.
+[Software Protection Algorithm](docs/28C256-notes).
 * Modular software design to easily support other EEPROM and EPROM families.
