The last time i programmed a EPROM was over 10 years ago (8051), and even then we did it with a DOS application, a year/2 after that we switched to EEPROM's which were much easier to manage.
I had a large range of programmers, which they all suffer from the same problem you having right now, which forced me to keep old computer/laptop for specific programmers. Which chip are you trying to program ?
