Got myself a new eprom programmer for $13 shipped!  A small gamble, but it works great!  I've seen one of these sell for $130 on ebay in the past month.  If you watch carefully, you can get one for around $50 in good condition.

Somebody on atariage suggested one of these, so I've been searching for "ep 1140" for the past couple of weeks.  If any of you want to do nes or snes reproductions, I highly recommend one of these!

It will take more time to find than a willem programmer.  But for sometimes not much more, it's amazing.  No stupid jumpers or switches, power from the wall, 40 pins rather than 36, windows (95-XP) and DOS software downloadable from their site, etc.  I just can't say enough good about it!  Solid 1/8 inch metal case!  

Oh, and if you want to sell an eprom programmer on ebay:  don't call it a prom programer and spell programmer the way that people do when they search for it...   ;D

Wow that rocks bro and mega cheap. Congrats big time!!

I keep meaning to teach myself how to do stuff like this.  I want to learn how to make my own Repros so I can save a bundle and not have to buy them from the repro sites.  It doesn't really sound that hard......but the lazy factor always gets me :-/
