From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
blow an EPROM /bloh *n ee'prom/ v.   (alt. `blast an EPROM',    `burn an EPROM') To program a read-only memory, e.g.   for use with    an embedded system.   This term arose because the programming process    for the Programmable Read-Only Memories (PROMs) that preceded    present-day Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memories (EPROMs)    involved intentionally blowing tiny electrical fuses on the chip.    The usage lives on (it's too vivid and expressive to discard) even    though the write process on EPROMs is nondestructive.
