As far as I know, the 28Cxxx series is completely pin compatible with the
27Cxxx series. I have an EEPROM programmer for the C64, the DELA EPROMMER II.
EEPROMs are even programmed with the same programming alghorithm as EPROMs,
only the erasing of the chip needs a special new alghorithm.
If you need a 28pin to 24pin adaptor (or 32 to 28, 28 to 28, or 32 to 24),
have a look at my projects page. It also contains a Flash ROM programmer for
6502 computers. Since its main purpose is not the programming process, only
very few devices are supported, actually it's only the Atmel 29C010 and
compatibles. Still, since these chips are much cheaper now than EPROMs, it's
a better idea to use those to replace a kernal. You can put 16 different
kernals in one chip :-) Oh, the address: http://people.freenet.de/x1541
There are also simple Flash programmers for the C64, I think there's one on
Funet and another one on www.6502.org.
