EEPROM Programmer: Buy or Build?

[riteet]

Greetings:

I've recently started a class in embedded systems, and was thinking about either getting or building an EEPROM Programing unit. I hope that someone can point me to either a good Prom burner to buy or a set of schematics and some Code that I can comile and run. Are most EEPROMS the same, just latch in an address present the data and a WR#? The only thing that I'd have to worry about would be the pinouts to my specific parts (CAT28C64). Well thanks all

Al burners are not as simple as you have mentioned above. My suggestion, same yourself the time & troubles and just buy one.

so where would be a good place to buy one at a reasonable price?

Depending on your budget (I guess you don't want to throw money away),
I would consider B+K

Take a look at 848. It is not the cheapest one but it can program
just about everything (EPROMs, EEPROMs, PICs, ATMELs...) for ca. $250US.
