Try to get an image of the internet somewhere.
Then g oto the local university or technical college
and ask at the engineering deptartment if they will do
it. They'll probablythink the idea is cool and most likely wont
charge.
If you "cant be bothered" or "cant get there" or "cant find an image",
then I doubt your sincerity.
The process is like this (for those that are serious):
1. Find a rom image
2. make sure the image is in intel hex format (repeat step one)
3. find a 32k or 64k eprom (part number 27x32 and 27x64, respectively,
the 'x' is C for CMOS or something else denoting the fabrication, etc)
(eproms can be re-used OK, like ram, find one in an old printer, old
PCx86 bios chip etc.)
4. Erase the eprom (if second hand) using an eraser (found in the same
location as the eprom burner.)
5 Burn the sucker!!!
6. Have cool fun with new toy.
