I have used a B&C microsystems Eprom programmer for about two years
now and I really like it. I bought it in kit for for about 300.00
with a case. The one I have is the 1409C, and it can program
 most anything, including most microcontrollers with eproms inside. 
It cannot do motorola eprom microcontrollers. I loaned my programmer
and manual to someone, so I do not have the phone number handy, but 
look in the back of byte or EDN for their add. They also have a lower
cost version (used to be $99) that does less stuff, but still programs
most all eproms. Have a Rainbow Day!
