Thanks for the tip, David - Linux-friendly hardware is always Good News!
But might you provide a little more information?
Searching eBay for "TL866CS", dozens of listings turn-up, each offering
different combinations of adapters, cables and other ancillary items in
addition to the chip burner itself.
Could you offer a little more info on what's what, why one might select one
set / sub-set / super-set of parts over another, and so forth?

I just thought I'd let everyone know, for the record, that I found an
inexpensive USB-interfaced EEPROM programmer that works with Linux. This
is the Model TL866CS which is often sold as "MiniPro Programmer". These
can be found on Ebay for around $50. It feels substantial and solidly
built.
The software I used to control it can be found at
https://github.com/vdudouyt/minipro. The software has some nits[1] but
it does work. There's a QT-based front-end at
https://github.com/wd5gnr/
qtl866. That one has a potential showstopper bug in that it does not
surround the device name with quotes when calling the minipro software.
So, for those of you (like me) who have posted from time to time looking
for a chipburner that works with Linux, here's a solution.
[1] udev rules aren't installed in the right place. No option to emit a
list of supported devices.
