Have you tried your local distributor yet?  Many of the distributors
here burn PALs as an added charge and can do it rather quickly.
Don't know about any programmers for under $1k but DATA I/O will burn 
just about anything around.  There is a catch of course, and its a big
one too!!  In order to burn different types of devices you need a 
different "programming pack", each of which has the necessary 
programming algorthms for what you need to burn.  One pack can burn
several different devices which saves you from having to buy several 
hundred and they aren't cheap.  As far as "tools" for generating the  
properly formatted data to download to the programmer, PALASM is pretty
archaic and if you look around you can probably find more powerful and 
"user friendly" tools to use.  We use PALASM here at FORTUNE Systems,  
but we are looking for alternatives.  I've seen ads for various tools 
in trade mags, but can't remember any names.
