yes correct but they also changed to flash, often plcc, todays often serial.There's still a lot of equipment using them. I have quite a few pieces of equipment from the 70's that are still quite useful. If the EPROMs lost their data, that equipment would be useless.
Many auto and motorcycle owners would agree that they're still useful and required. My "old" BMW wouldn't run without a 27C256...
i burned firmwares on 2 small eproms a customer requested it, used a g540 on refurbished eproms, no problems.
