I recommend the PROM programmer by B & C Microsystems, which advertises
in Byte. It burns a wide variety of EEPROMs and EAROMs. It runs via
RS232 serial interface, and the built-in resident does all the programming
functions, so it's computer-independent. It can handle the 8748/49 series
of microcontrollers with EPROM. The programmer is available as an unpopulated
circuit board (with resident ROM, power transformer, and documentation,
$ 125), fully assembled without enclosure ($ 325), or assembled with
enclosure and built-in eraser. A gang programmer option is also available.
The product is not commercial grade, but it works better than programmers
in our lab that cost $ 1500. Support from the designer is excellent.
