Plug the Superfast EPROM on top of the Emulator. Figure 5 install a ready burned super fast EPROM 27C512 or 27C256 on top of the 28 pin IC socket. Make sure the pin goes in the right location. Figure 6 show just plug the whole Emulator on top of the stock 84 pin MCU. Make sure to bend the crystal outward first.
