	Another option is the serial port EPROM burner made by BP Microsystems
of Houston, Texas. We have used several of their units on I-M PC's and our
unix workstations. The unit will work with a dumb terminal, but they provide
software for the PC (simple & straightforward). One of our programmers wrote
some C code to run it from our unix workstations. This code can be fairly
easily ported to the Amiga; or one could just use a terminal program. It
handles all kinds of EPROMS up to the 1M size. 
	Their phone # is 713-461-9430 if you are interested. They make a good
product.
