Yes. The Data I/O 29B with Unipak 2B will. I just burned one a couple
of weeks ago.

As I learned from Pete Turnbull, the reason almost no modern burner can
handle a 2708 is that it is a 3-rail chip, requiring, among other
things, +12V. Beginning with most 2716s, eproms only used +5V.

But, I have the machine, it works, and I would be happy to do it for
you, if you supply the chips and code.
