I'm looking for recommendations on EPROM burners that can be used on the
Amiga. I've got the plans for Bob Blick's Eprommer, but the docs for it
note that the software is compiled basic, with delay loops to get the
timing right. This doesn't sound too likely to work on my A2620, or my
(future) A3000. Has there been an update to this programmer? The version
I've got is dated March 23, 1989.

One other possibility is the Circuit Cellar's serial port EPROM burner.
As I recall from the construction articles, it just requires a dumb
terminal to drive it.

I need the ability to program 2732 through 27512 EPROMs. In a year or
two, I might have the need to program PALs and such. Is it worth looking
at something that can handle programmable logic now, or is the cost
difference enough that I should just worry about that when the time
comes? I'm figuring on spending in the range of $50-150, is that
realistic?

The last EPROM burner I bought was an Apple II card, and it only handles
2708's through 2764's. (As you can see, it's been a while! :-)

Oh, should I be looking at something that can also deal with the newer
16 bit EPROMs?
