I'm good with my EMP-11 http://www.needhams.com/products-emp11.html

Unfortunately, both the EMP-11 and the Galep-4 are parallel port devices
and that's a rapidly disappearing interface, especially on the notebook
PCs that are so handy to carry around the lab with the programmer. Both
of Needham's USB-capable programmers are kind of pricey (I know, these
things are relative).

I'm hoping that either Needhams or the Galep folks will manage to come
out with a USB version that's at or near the same price point as the
current EMP-11 or Galep-4 by the time that my current notebook dies.
