I'm looking for an EPROM burner, but I can't spend more than $200.  Apparat
has been selling an expansion card 'Prom Blaster' for Apples for many years;
it cost around $150 several years ago.  I just noticed an Apple PROM card
advertised in the back of the February Byte for $59!  Anyone know about such
a beast for PClones?  I can't imagine that there's some special feature of
the Apple bus the isn't available on the PC bus! :-)  Ideally, such a card
would support the 27xxx EPROMs and would have a ribbon cable with a Zero
Insertion Force socket on the end of so I wouldn't have to open up my PC...

Thanks for any help you can provide!
