Eproms?
I found this on Wikipedia:
Wikipedia wrote:
An EPROM (rarely EROM), or erasable programmable read only memory, is a type of memory chip that retains its data when its power supply is switched off. In other words, it is non-volatile. It is an array of floating-gate transistors individually programmed by an electronic device that supplies higher voltages than those normally used in digital circuits. Once programmed, an EPROM can be erased by exposing it to strong ultraviolet light from a mercury-vapor light source. EPROMs are easily recognizable by the transparent fused quartz window in the top of the package, through which the silicon chip is visible, and which permits exposure to UV light during erasing.
I believe it is some type of memory chip.

Can i download scratch saved programme to EPROM's for making syringe pump project?
I don't think you can.
Could you explain more specifically what you want to achieve?

that is i want to load the scratch programme on to a EPROM 85 or 86 family and use it in a instrument i.e to control a servo motor for making syringe pump for medical use.
I don't believe something like that is possible.
I have to admit, it's hard to imagine Scratch being used for something as serious like a medical syringe pump as Scratch was intended as a beginning programming language (especially for kids).
Scratch is capable of being connected to the physical world, but it's hard to imagine what kind of setup is needed for your situation; you'll need to explain how you plan on having Scratch set up to a device used for your pump (for example, are you planning on using an Arduino board or a PicoBoard?). Perhaps you might have better luck asking in the Connecting to the Physical World forums for some help.
