I'm looking for a programmer (EPROMS etc). I have a TL866II already, but it requires a Windows software. It runs via Wine on Linux, but not very well.

It would be great if it has at least the features of the TL866, more are preferred. It doesn't have to have a gui, cli is fine. It's also ok to assemble something, doesn't have to be an off the shelf device.

Any ideas or recommendations?

DiagROM is diagnostic software that is burned into an EPROM by the user and then replaces the regular Kickstart ROM of an Amiga. A new beta version 2.0 has now been released. Changes:
