Yeah, those are cool, but I really only wanted 2K parts. A few variations
on the X28HC line are already at EOL already, and the 8K versions are about
40% more expensive than what I have now. Once again, for the truely
paranoid, someone can make a socket adapter for one and plug one into the
board and it'll probably work OK. :-)
