Cheers for that, next step will be getting a proper soldering iron.

Well getting the chip out is one thing but what to replace it with? I had a look at the moates site and they have a ZIF socket which would allow me to remove a chip and replace it with an emulator very quickly. Is this a good idea or not?
If it is ok can I buy one off one of you guys to keep it all local?
Open to suggestions :roll:

So does that just allow you to push the eprom into it and you have to prise it out? WES Components sell something called an ic socket for a few cents that kind of does that and would there be a risk of breaking the legs off the eprom if you were to do this a number of times?

You just need to be careful removing the EPROM, use a small flat blade screwdriver to lever up a small amount at each end rather than trying to remove it in one go.

There are two types of sockets..
Press fit - http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PI6507
Machined - http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PI6466

The machined ones are normally better.
