(Midwest Scentific - SS50 bus system) would happen to have a copy of the
software for their 1702A EPROM burner, I think the model is PR-1.  I just
picked one up and am eager to see if I can use it to read/burn 1702As,
something that has been an issue for me for a while now.

Reading them is pretty easy.  BURNING them is crazy.  They 
need an 80 V power supply, and I think you XOR the address 
or something as you apply the programming voltage.

Actually,  programming a 1702 only requires a  -48 volt pulse for each
address.  Here's the datasheet:
