Cheapest ROM Burner that will burn 27128,2716, and GAL 16V8

I am looking for the cheapest ROM burner that will do these 3 chips, I can imagine that the GAL what throws the monkey wrench in the plans.

Here is the GAL chip I need to burn too.

Most will do EPROM's

For GAL's -- worst CPLD programmer I had was a Xeltek Superpro 2000. It had the GAL's in the list and it would always say that it programmed the part but the GAL would never test good. Put the GAL in my other programmer and it always said the Xeltek programmed part was blank.

Best programmer I ever used was an Advin U84+ (I recently bought an Advin U128+). These will program *anything* and do it reliably.

I've got a Genius G540 that does them... it's a ~$50 USB burner. The software is kinda crappy, but it seems to work.

I do *not* recommend the G540 for 2716's. From what I've read, 2716's are harder to program than newer chips (they need more power, or something like that), and I have had a bitch of a time trying to get the G540 to burn them. Anyone else having this problem?

And the G540 software truly is crap, though it does an adequate job for most other EPROMs I've tried.

I miss my old Needham PB-10.

I haven't personally tried... I've got a GQ-4X that I use for pretty much everything, but I was planning on burning some GALs, so I picked up the Genius... but never used it. IIRC I burned a 27C128, just to make sure it worked, and it did, but the software was so clunky and full of Engrish... and not just the funny kind, but the WTF is this trying to say??? kind.
