#175234 - Employ a monkey.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Ok. A VT100 terminal will allow you to type in the 'Erase Block' Intel Hex line.

You could design a mechanical device to tap the keys in the correct order.

But if you open up the VT100 you will discover a CPU just like most machines in the world.

You could of course have a single chip 8051 (or other mcu) send the Intel Hex lines straight from its flash memory.

But unless you want to wait for a monkey to tap RS232 signals you are going to have some form of intelligent controller.

David.
