	Alexandre's link,

http://web.archive.org/web/20080621113020/http://www.willem.org/

points to a page which my machine loads only glacially, apparently 
because the server isn't responding fast.

Meantime, my Googling for "willem programmer" produced this page:

http://www.sivava.com/

which describes a commercially available EPROM programmer. Packages 
start at US$39. Many adaptors are available, prices $3 - $70. Driver 
software appears to be Windows only (9x - XP). The programmer looks 
like a single free-standing circuit board, ~9 IC's plus a lot of 
sockets including a DIP ZIF socket. USB power, "DB25" data cable (!). 
Ah, reading further, there's an AC/DC power adaptor as well, so I 
guess you don't need a PC with both USB and Serial.

I think the two pages are talking about the same thing, or at least 
different versions of the same thing. I'm not sure about that.

Hope this helps!
