Adaptors for standard eprom programmers are not practical for this device,
due to the specialized timed-signature that has to be inserted down the RESET
pin to get the device into program mode.  However, a reasonably priced 
programmer is available from Philips in New Zealand, p.o. box 1041, Auckland,
phone (649) 605-914, and Philips in Australia, 11 Waltham St, Artarmon 2064,
Sydney, phone (612) 439-3322.  I believe these programmers are being sold at
not much more than cost price in order to encourage use of the microprocessors.

The programmer does chips 87C751/752/87C552/87C451 which I use.

Hope this helps - Steven Murray.
