Believe it or not but I have tried this as an experiment !. It took about
a year and a half to completely erase it .

I've been using 27C256s, 27C010s and other EPROMs for about 8 years, and I
have some that have had no labels on for that time, and they still work
fine.

No, natural sunlight is the wrong wavelength/doesnt have enough of a
particular wavelength to erase eproms like a proper eraser does.
Ever wondered why theres warning stickers NOT to look directly at the
fluorescent tube in the erasers?, permanent eye damage is the main one...

I used to have a sunlamp - one of those about a foot square that you
sat in front of to "do" your face. It erased eproms and exposed PCB
artwork a treat - the only problem was that it "did" any exposed skin
within about six feet of it as I found out one day when I had some very
blank eproms and very sore (blistering) forearms.

It was one of those early ones that used a small (1-2")discharge tube
rather than a flourescent light. That said, you might like to try an
ordinary sunbed to see what success you have although I suspect the
light might not be quite energetic enough in these cancer conscious
days.
