In reply to a usenet inquiry about EPROM Programmers:
Short of the expensive professional systems, there are a number of
them that I know of. Some are for internal use as an expansion board
in the Apple ][ series.
Jameco Electronics (Belmont, CA) has a fairly expensive (and
extensive) system. It does 8k to 64k, and costs $995.
With RS232c interface option, cost is $1195.
An IBC-PC Communications Program for it is $50.
The following (but not exclusive list of) companies have Apple plug-in
boards:
JDR Microdevices ($79.95) 16k to 128k
Southern California Research Group ($149.50) 16k to 512k
(we have used this one here, without incident)
(we have used this one here, without incidp
Supreme Wholesale (in San Jose) ($59) -no information

Ciarcia gives a design for one that will run on an RS-232 output.

One unit not mentioned before: the Apparat Prom Blaster. It plugs into an empty slot (If you HAVE one) and reads/writes 2708/2716/2516/2532/2732/68764/2816. If you don't need large EPROMs programmed, at $110. it's not bad. I have used mine for four years now, and have even burned 27C16s and 27C32s with over 90% sucess. Apparat makes a new on for the IBM PC that goes on up through the 28 pin devices (27256 etc) for around $130. Charles Lord cjl@ecsvax.UUCP

Even if you add a microcontroller to run it (rather than having your host computer run it) it isn't more than $50. So why are "inexpensive" multipart programmers like the one above $200? --Chuck -- "Unix, the Teco of Operating Systems." - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {qantel,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-}
