Went to the #electronic fair in Empoli and bought a fair amount of #RAM and #EPROM for my 8-bit projects! These two sticks were 16€ total!

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?
