According to Grant's site, he wrote an emulator to develop the ROM.

Reading the posts about Kips SBC, has me wondering about how one 
develops the ROM image for use on an SBC like Kips/Grants.  If I were 
starting from scratch and going through many many iterations I would 
hate to have to burn/erase/burn/erase an EPROM.  I guess an EEPROM would 
work, but that requires you to extract, program, insert, extract, 
program, insert... etc...   Is there a better way?  I suppose that using 
an emulator might work, but are the ROM images exactly the same as what 
is used to program an (E)EPROM.  Excuse my ignorance on this as I have 
never dealt with (E)EPROMS, but I want to.

Speaking of programming EEPROMS, what is a good low cost one, I think 
someone just mentioned this, and I feel like I have asked this before lol.
