I'm going to be starting to use some of the small 8 pin Serial SPI 
EEPROM memories and would like to come up with a production-quality 
programmer for them.  On the PIC side, I'm using Olin's ProProg and it's 
working out well, and we like the way it works...  Insert chip, hit 
button, wait until LED comes back on steady, remove chip and repeat.  No 
need to have the computer on the same desk as the programmer (we have a 
table which parallels the desk with the computer on which we use for 
things which need the computer in a support role such as the ProProg).  
We just start the software and then it's just us, the chips, and the 
programmer.

So far, I haven't found anything both reasonably priced and seemingly 
production capable.   I'm about ready to build my own (after all it is 
only SPI flash), but would prefer to do something a little less 
drastic.  So before I did I figured I'd ask on-list.

Ideas?
