I've come across a program called "geepro" for burning EPROMs under Linux,
but I've yet to identify a known-good programmer. Could someone please
recommend one? Geepro's documentation says that it supports the Willem
4.0. On Ebay I see the "GQ-4X" which is claimed to be a "Willem
Universal". Will that work?

Great question! Alternatively, is it possible to run the Willem windows software via
Parallels on a Mac? I can't find my older Willem programmer, and may just bite the
bullet and upgrade to one of the current models. The only problem is, I no longer have an
actual Windows system around here, and haven't since 2010. :-)

I don't know if it works in Linux (I just have an old XP laptop I keep near
the bench to run programmers) but I do have a GQ-4X and it works great...
real nice little EPROM burner. I think it's definitely worth it over the
el-cheapo ones.
Best,
Sean

Biggest problem you will probably have with the willem programmers is
whether the thing will work with your pile and properly work with a
physical parallel port.
That is the biggest barrier to that programming hardware I now of.
There are past discussions (which can be found on archive.org for now if
need be) discussing what will and won't work with vm support, and with
usb to parallel converters.
Thanks
