After putting it off for many, many years, I've decided to break down
and do it. I'm in the market for a device to read and program
EPROM's such as would be found in DEC or Commodore 64 hardware.
Something that can also handle other chips (Such as PAL's) that I'd
find in DEC or Commodore hardware would be nice.
I'm looking for something that is either dirt cheap, or that I can build.

I've got some 29A and 29B programmers that you could probably have
one of. They're even right here in town :-).
I'm not sure which chip adapters I have spare, though. (You need the
adapter that goes with the particular chip you wish to program.)

TOP 2004/TOP2008 you can find on EBAY. Dirt cheap. I don't like
it but it works.

eBay.
When you buy an eprom burner, you expect some kind of "lifelong support"
and a very strong software. TOP2005 has nothing of that. I have a Beeprog
(from Elnec) that has almost DAILY updates, and all machines they make/made
uses the same software, and isn't so expensive at all. And, as a good tool,
if you find something that doesn't works, Elnec makes another beta version
for you asap (ex: in one or two days). Try that with the chineses :)

The c64 never used EPROMs, only masked ROMs. Though there were one or two
aftermarket devices that would use 'em, typically with an adapter.

Hi
I just saw a UniPak on ebay. This along with the
29A or B that another mentioned will program most any
eprom you need as well as most PROMs.

At least I once had a 1541 shortly after it was released in Germany that
had EPROMs in it; too bad I didn't keep it. No, it was NOT one of the

UV window had the well-known C= on it.
