Eprom Programmer for Apple II?

Just to let you know if you're choosing between the two cheapest multifunction ones the G540 and the TOP853 you're better off to pay the little extra and get the G540. I almost bought the TOP853 but after checking out some sources I found many people who had tried both recommended the G540 because the TOP fails on certain devices that the G540 can work with. Also apparently the TOP has many devices in its compatible list that it actually can't work with, it theoretically can but the power just isn't there, whereas you will almost never encounter that with the G540, and if you do you can use a dual head USB cable or a USB cable with its power lines wired to a 5V 1A power adapter and it will work fine. Apparently this is because the TOP people actually put in a circuit to limit what it can draw on the USB port whereas the Genius people didn't, it just takes what it can get. I think the G540 might even use the same board as the G840 and can be converted easily, but I'm not positive on that one yet. Just my two cents for what its worth.
