Hi,
I am looking for an EPROM programmer that would be able to read (and write) the following integrated circuits:
-ATMEL 27HC641R, which is a 8Kx8 EPROM in a DIP-24 package (not a DIP-28)
-MOTOROLA 68HC705 which is a microcontroller (not protected against reading)
I currently have a TL866A (from autoelectric.cn) but these 2 circuits are not in the list of the supported I.C. that I have uploaded here: TL866A supported I.C. list
Thank you very much for your help,

Hi,
For your consideration a link to Amazon selling an Eprom programmer that can program the TL866A.

I already own a TL866A (I agree with Algar_Emi: it is a very good device for the price),
BUT the ATMEL 27HC641R is not in the I.C. supported list, nor the Motorola 68705 : this is the reason for which I ask for a programmer that supports these 2 I.Cs
The Dataman Pro-2 looks like a solution but my usage is just occasional and does not justify a $1,000 device... I would pefer a less expensive chinese toy !
Do you know anything else that would support these 2 IC.s ?
Thank you

Perhaps you need to maintain some old equipment? But there are so many newer uP/SOC that make the expense, limitations and work using those old uPs a "rite of passage" memory.

Yes this is exactly my purpose: I have to maintain a 35 years old device ! (that I still love !)

So I am looking for an EPROM programmer that supports these 2 I.C.s...
I hope that somebody has a solution (cheaper than the $1,000 suggested above)😀
Programming EPROMs is not particularly difficult. 40 years ago I built a programmer to plug into a Radio Shack Coco. Today, you could use a Arduino, perhaps just using a bread-board. Yes, it's a bit more work, but such is working with those old parts. How much of your time is worth $1000? I should think there should be used programmers on ebay since newer devices are serial/ ICSP etc. The problem with old equipment is that the software may not run on a new Windows etc. Note that the "Community" version of MS VS including C# is ~free for personal use and you can write command line C# just using CSC.exe that comes in windows .net folder. But there are lots of Arduino variants and the Arduino IDE is free and well maintained.
EPROM is not gonna be an issue, you can program them with variety of cheap MCU based DIY things and all of the cheap programmers on ebay etc.
But the MCU is a much harder task, they often are supported only in those (very) expensive solutions.... Luckily programming info should be available in their datasheets so it wouldn't be too difficult to conjure up a DIY solution.
