You mean EPROM programmer?  EPROMs are erased by exposing them to ultraviolet
light, EEPROMs are erased electrically.  I know of no EEPROM programmers made
specifically for the Apple, but I should think some of the units available
that connect to a serial port would work nicely.

However, to program 2716 and 2764 EPROMs (the ultraviolet kind), try
Needham's Electronics at 4535 Orange Grove Ave., Sacramento, CA, 95841,
(916) 924-8037 fax (916) 972-9960.  I bought a unit that plugs into one
of the Apple's expansion slots and programs 2716 (single +5v supply only,
not the older 3 supply devices), 2732, 2764, 27128, 27256, and 27512 chips,
and one or two others, for $109.00 at a local retailer.

If this doesn't work out for you, the following reference might be of help:
