Not me.

Brand doesn't matter. Count the Pins for the Boot-ROM:

28Pins --> 27C64, 27C128, 27C256, 27C512 (8,16,32,64K); 28C256(EEPROM, 32k)
32Pins --> 27C010, AT29C512, AT29C010 (128K, 64K 128K)

I use GALEPIII. See www.conitec.de. There is no Linux support for this and
there is nothing inside that thing, which looks familiar to me :-(

If anybody knows one, TELL ME!
At the moment I don't know a burner, that runs under Linux. But in a
few months, there will be one. ELV (www.elv.de) plans to develop a new universal
programmer. I think, they are interested in programmers, who write a
Linux-Version of the software. And there is at least me, who will do this
job. I already wrote a Linux-Software for their EPROM-Simulator EPS1(See
http://www.asterius.de/~marc).
