Maybe a Data I/O 2xx series programmer would work for you?
 
I use a Data I/O 29B for proms & 2708s, but everything else I do with a Data
I/O 212. Just swap the serial cable between the units and chage the
programmer type & port settings in Promlink 6.1. works great.. the 212 also has
user-friendly menus in standalone mode (unlike the 29B) so if I just need to
copy something or verify some blanks I dont need to fire up the PC at all, just
select the manufacturer & device from the lists on the LCD.
 
I guess the only downside is I dont think Promlink will support anything
above 4 megabit devices (?). My unit only supports upto 2mb devices standalone
with v3.0 software, but I think I've done some 27C040's with PL. I've never
had to burn anything bigger than that yet..
 
I have a Xeltek Superpro still hooked up on the same system that I use the
Data I/Os on and I havn't fired that thing up in years as the 212 takes care
of everything.. I havn't checked, but I'm guessing they're probably worth less
than $100.
