With EPROMs you can (sometimes) use the Intel
Quick-pulse or 10ms Pulse
algorithms if you don't know the manufacturer's specific algorithm, but
with
PROMs getting the algorithm wrong can, and WILL fry the chip. That said,
with
EPROMs it's hard to find something that isn't supported by modern
programmers.
I've got an Elnec Preprom-02aLV (only recently EOL'd and still under
software
support) and it's handled everything I've plugged in, with the obvious
exception of a few dead EPROMs that have probably spent a little too long
in
the UV box...
Of course, you can always use a 2716 or like EPROM on the place of PROMs
:o)
