Looking for a device programmer that doesn't require Weendoze

Does anyone know where I can get a device (EPROM, flash, etc) programmer that doesn't require Weendoze? I can use any OS in the Universe (UNIX, Linux, DOS, etc) except Weendoze, and I need a device programmer that can program a reasonable set of devices. My most immediate need is to program 3.3V flash devices in PLCC32 package. Needham's Electronics has nice programmers for a reasonable price, but they all have "Weendoze required" in the fine print. I once had a chance to borrow a BP Microsystems BP-1200 and it worked with my DOS machine (using the original IBM PC/AT unidirectional parallel/serial port card no less!). I called BP Micro and asked them about their current offerings. They offered me their cheapest current programmer, BP-1400 and told me that if BP-1200 worked on my machine then BP-1400 would work too. Then I asked for the price. They told me that the cheapest 84 pins max version of BP-1400, their cheapest product, sells for $2000. Add another few hundred for the PLCC32 socket module, or another $1000+ if I want a generic PLCC module for more than one pin count. Is there anything cheaper available for non-Weendoze users? MS
