I use the Intronics Pocket Programmer.  http://www.intronics.com/
>It was cheap, about 130 dollars.  It uses the PC printer port, so it
>can connect to about anything PC compatible. >
>It is a DOS based tool, so it is perfect for those old 286 laptops you
>have nothing to do with.  As DIACOM is also a DOS based scan tool, they
>go together well on an old DOS based PC.
>
>Some might not like the old DOS command line stuff, with it's very
>basic menu, and ASCII only based screen.  But once you get used to it, 
>you can do things pretty fast.
>
>It has a checksum feature for PROM data, so just start a file
>with the non-checksummed area all zeros, and it has your checksum as 
>soon as you load the file you want to work with.  Put that number in the
>checksum field, and you can program your new PROM with checksum active.
>
>After you get tired of burning PROMs, the Intronics folks also have a 
>ROM emulator that plugs into the Pocket Programmer.  This is about 
>another 90 dollars.  Wish I had more old laptops to support these
>DOS based things....  :-)

>I have a Datarase eraser.
