Build this one:
http://s-huehn.de/elektronik/epromprog/epromprog.htm
Supports everything "we" need and is even OS-independent as it is
entirely controlled through RS232.
Commercial programmers are just way too expensive these days; plus, to
my knowledge some of them even don't have official support by the
respective chip manufacturers, i.e. the used programming algorithms are
as good or bad as any other homebrew algorithm.
Another DIY alternative would be the well-known WILLEPROMMER which is
actively marketed by a number of people on eBay.

How rather ancient :)
