It would be easier if you already had one and knew how to load 'sketches' (programs) into one. If we ask you to get one just for this purpose that will be another long learning arc we will be sending you off on, which you may or may not feel you have time and energy for.

I should probably have asked first if you have any kind of EPROM programmer available to you because if you have, even if the programmer does not directly support those PROMs, you could make an adaptor which would allow them to be read as though they are a more common device.
