My favorite production programmer is to have the distributor do it before
they ship the chips to me. That being said, we have not tried this yet.
But the first time we get a job with 100 copies of some chip to program, we
will.

I checked with Digikey a year or so ago. Seems like it was twentyfive cents
in 100's which seems like a bargain if you are talking of 1000's.

At least one other person mentioned here last year that they did this and
had problems; as usual, ymmv.

that can take chips from tubes or tapes for production. We are looking at
buying something so we don't have to do thousands of chips one by one.
