Sadly, I am in need in particular of 22V10's for a project...  figure I'll
invest in a programmer thats way more then I need so I have it in the
future.  think maybe I've found an EPROM programmer that will handle 2708's
as well as PLD/GALs but I'm waiting for a response.

Nice quirk of this is I can clear out my old Data I/O unit that is huge and
maybe make someone else happy with it...
