Oh, I don't think that would be a very good idea.  Besides the fact that the
wavelength is all wrong, you would probably zap the part.

Stick with uv that is the correct wavelength.

P.S.  Whoever mentioned the bit about the adhesive was right on the mark.  It
can really make erasing last a *lot* longer.  Clean the adhesive off before you
try to erase the EPROM.
