Here is one company that is doing it, contact them at

specifications includung PALs, GALs, bipolar PROMS, EPROMs, CMOS EPROMS,
some EEPROMS and, PEELs, and some Intel processors.

Programming charges are $25.00 per chip, plus the chips if we are to provide
them, plus shipping and handling. We will ship using UPS, or the overnight
