With EPROMs you can (sometimes) use the Intel

Pulse algorithms if you don't know the manufacturer's specific

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...
That said, Widlarization is a great way to deal with parts like
that. :)
YAY!! Someone else knows of Widlarization! I sure wish I
could've met him.
