OK, this is it!

The charge is $175 for one EEPROM and $200 for two EEPROMs. 
( some people wanted one with RaQ4 firmware and one with 550
  since there is a socket they can change them.)

It requires the use of approximately $2500.00 worth of equipment.
    Hot air tool                                                  
   TSOP fitting for hot air tool.
    EEPROM programmer.
    TSOP Adapter for EEPROM Programmer.

We allow 1 hour to remove the EEPROM clean the PCB apply solder paste, solder 
the $25.00 socket to the board, and clean the PCB again.
Another hour to program EEPROM and test the MB.

On good days it takes less time, on bad days more time.
