Remember that game console that I made a while back out of old computer parts and a stereo enclosure? It still had the motherboard intact. I desoldered everything from it and got some interesting (and somewhat usable) parts. There were some parts that I didn't dive into though, and I'd like to take the time now to shallow dive into one of them now: the EPROM.
Random stuff to do with hardware and software that generally comes from salvaged electronics that never really deserved to be salvaged and weird software stuff.

What we're essentially going to do is change it into a compute stick.
