I bought a MQP 200 Programmer from yahoo auctions a few years
ago for 25 quid. It works fine for beeb EPROMS or backing up old
ROMS. It has a serial interface, so I guess you could even drive
if from a beeb, although I use an old DOS PC.

(But wouldn't it be easier to copy the EPROMS directly from the
beeb using a sideways ROM copy program?)
