You might get an old EPROM programmer at a Radio
rally/hamfest. But
they're often not that cheap. How about buildign one for your next
project - to program standard EPROMs (2764s - 27512s, say) is not that
hard. Basically you have to set up the address and data, take one of the
pins (Vpp) up to 12.5V (or 21V, or even 25V on older devices) and then
apply a 50ms program pulse to another pin. And repeat for all the
locations you want to program.
I have a BAL-500 EMROM Programmer for the Apple II I've been meaning to
experiment with. No documentation or software, of course. Is any
"special" software required to operate an EPROM programmer, or can it be
programmed using the Apple II's BASIC or Assembly (not that I know
assembly)?
When i built my first embedded control system I had to
build an EPROM
programmer first....
