A way to test a PROM?

is there a way to test a PROM with it out of the computer??

If you have a PROM reader/burner, you can download the BIN and open it on your computer.

Or, if it's a bin that you have a copy of already, you can do a PROM verify with the burning software.

If you don't have all that crap, I can show you a nice toggle circuit that will allow you to check the PROM 1 bit at a time.
