Ben, if you need a low cost EPROM programmer just go get yourself a junk PC
(practically free) and for $20 on Ebay Buy-It-Now (or less if you are
patient), get a Willem Programmer.
Here is a link:

Decent EPROM programmers are so cheap now as to be hardly an issue.
These are super simple to use and practically disposable. They are
amazingly durable and useful.
They won't work with first generation EPROMs but anything 2716 or later is
good. 2816s should be no problem.
Good luck with your project.

You should also be able to find a dirt cheap, piece of crap Chinese
EPROM eraser that will do the trick off of eBay for about the same
price. I picked up both close to a year ago so I could burn some
EPROM's for my Commodore 64. Definitely a worthwhile investment for
the price, and the best part is they're *SMALL* compared to old
commercial models.

That will be some time after my PCB's are made... many many moons from now.
Get the schematic done, get the PCB's made, write the microcode &
convert Small C software.
Still I am off to a good start ... I have a BAG of front panel switches
... The most expensive part.

PS: For a CP/M system I may save up and get a ALTAIR replica next summer.

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.

Yeah. I guess IDE would be the wrong terminology.
The Willem Programmer has a real nice Windows Interface.
I have one of those, too (well, the Chinese version of it anyway).
Works a treat and set me back all of $15, IIRC! I also use a lot of
Linux-based compilers, assemblers and other such tools. I then use
VMWare on the same machine to run Windows and the programming
software. If you share your images with Samba you can read them
straight in on the Windows VM. Nothing like a proper Linux version of
the software, I know (hey, you could always write one!) but it does
provide a handy way to develop, test and debug using Linux tools
without needing a Windoze box just to run the programmer.
