I bought a
Willem Programmer a couple of years ago off Ebay and paid
around $40 for it. I use it for 27Cxxx's but it will also do 24Cxx,
25Cxx, 93Cxx, and PICs.
I love it!
There seems to be a LOT of variants out there so, make sure the one
you
get will work with your specific chips.
I wish there was a good LINUX based IDE for it.
You mean programmer control software? Is programming information
available for it?

Yeah. I guess IDE would be the wrong terminology.
The Willem Programmer has a real nice Windows Interface. It even has
graphics that show you the correct DIP switch and jumpers for the device
that you select. That way you don't have to go back to the manual when
you select a different ROM / EEPROM to program. And... It's fast. I've
been working on a project using 27256's and the programmer will burn and
verify one in less than 1 second!
AFAIK, the entire project is open source / open architecture. The only
LINUX resources I saw run under WINE (Windows emulator)... WTF!
See ya,
