[geeks] eprom programming

[Rob]

So with a programmer and a chip all you do is plug it in and it'll zap the
code over? I assume you need some sort of I/O device to hook the chip to
for any useful purpose. What else am I missing?

What chips are supported by your programmer? Which aren't that a beginner
might consider?
