Does anyone program EPROM's?

I'm just wondering if anyone here programs EPROM's? I'm needing some guidance with EPROM's.

Here is what I'm trying to do just for some background information.

I have a Daytona USA Twin arcade machine and I wanted to upgrade it to Daytona GTX 2004. This requires replacing two EPROM chips and installing a security board. I have had this kit for over a month now and I cant get it to work at all. I turn on the machine and I can get it into the service menus but it will not go into attract mode. The machine will boot but will lock up before it gets into attract mode. I have talked with the company I bought it off of and they have no clue on what the issue is and has given me a refund but they said I could keep the chips. Why they said that I don't know.

Anyway I was thinking today and looking at the MAME roms of the game and seen that the version I have ( the one with Saturn ads ) uses two different versions of the EPROM chips than the standard version of the game. I'm thinking the GTX version uses the original version of the game since I cant enable the Saturn ads in the service menu. If this is correct I'm wondering if the GTX verion of the game is not compatible with the two EPROM versions I have?

Well the only way to test that theory is to reprogram the chips or find replacements and here is where I need your help. I want to buy a programmer that will program AM27C1024-70DC and AM27C400-120DC EPROM chips. I don't know what I need to search for because I don't know what search terms I need to use to find the right programmer.

What I need to know is what programmer to buy that's cheap and will program these chips. I think I have found a UV eraser for less than $50. I also would like to know if there is any place to buy these EPROM chips so I have some spares to play with? The only place I found to buy the EPROM chips directly was ebay but I don't want to go that route. I cant find a site that sells the chips directly. Any help with that would be appreciated.

Once I get a programmer I will use the MAME rom files to program the chips. Hopefully I can get this upgrade kit working as I really want to see how well this upgrade affects game play.

 

Looks like I will go with that Willem programmer. I sent an email to the guy asking which programmer I should get for the chips I need to program.

Digi-Key looks like it has the 27c1024 chips in the one time program package which is fine with me for what I need but they don't have the 27c400 or at least not available on the site. I may have to call to see if they can get those. They only other places that might have the chips I need require me to call for stock and price. I hate those sites because I just want to buy it and not go through the hassle of calling and getting stuck with someone that I cant understand.

 

Just an update.

I got the programmer and some replacement chips. I was able to reprogram the chips I needed and my GTX upgrade kit works great.

The one thing I'm looking for now is the Daytona USA "To The MAXX" upgrade kit. Apparently it needs a security board to function. If anyone knows anyone that has this upgrade kit please let me know. I would like to buy it or try to copy the security board.
