finding at least a Data I/O 2900, 3900, or even a Unisite. I just landed a
2900 on Greed-Bay for a little over $100, and there are some Unisites I've
seen go in the $200 to $250 range. These units are a much better
investment, as they can program any type of device that is (a),
programmable, and (b), can drop into a DIP socket (other socket types are
supported with the Chipsite or Pinsite adapters).

   I'm not Bruce but I have a model 60 and as I recall it only does EPROMs
and only up to the 512 kbit types. You're much better off with a newer
programmer unless you only want to do 512 kbit EPROMS. IIRC the 212 has the
same limitations.
