The 280 manual has a whole chapter on terminal remote control and
computer remote control, especially command format and summary.
They recommend PromLink (tm) to operate the 280.
some of the commands are enter/exit CRC mode (computer remote control)
execute command, abort command, set nulls, set family/pinout, set begin
device address, set begin ram address, set block size, etc.

Do eeprom programmers like this typically use a standard serial
protocol to speak to the host PC, or is it usually proprietary per
manufacturer? Anyone know what software the 280 used?
Remote control protocols are typically proprietary, but Data I/O's
protocol (at least for the UniFamily units, not sure about the 280) is
well-documented. It's important to note, however, that most standalone
device programmers are designed to be used as...standalone units.
Meaning, you control them from their keypad and display. If they have
a serial port (and most do, the 280 definitely does) then they usually
accept front-panel-initiated transfer of files (usually binary, Intel
hex, Motorola S-record, and a few others) via Xmodem/ Ymodem/etc over
the serial port.
