I'm looking for an EPROM burner, but I can't spend more than $200. Apparat
has been selling an expansion card 'Prom Blaster' for Apples for many years;
it cost around $150 several years ago. I just noticed an Apple PROM card
advertised in the back of the February Byte for $59! Anyone know about such
a beast for PClones? I can't imagine that there's some special feature of
the Apple bus the isn't available on the PC bus! :-) Ideally, such a card
would support the 27xxx EPROMs and would have a ribbon cable with a Zero
Insertion Force socket on the end of so I wouldn't have to open up my PC...
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Apparat does indeed make a "Blaster" for the PC. Cost is around $150. Call them as they sell direct to the consumer. No outboard ZIF socket, though.. I have used an Apple version for >5 years with no problems. I even sold the spares I had bought for fail-safe.. Charles Lord Triangle R&D Corp RTP, NC cjl@ecsvax.UUCP ..!decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!cjl
