English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Amiga specific EPROM burning hardware/software

I looked around EAB and found not very much info concerning this rather obscure chapter...
Were there any Amiga-specific EPROM programmers? I see there were some Zorro boards for the bigger machines, but little info can be found...
How about the machines like A500? Could a general parallel port (i.e. for PCs) burner be used with them?
Also, how about the software used to operate them?
I see that every time it comes to a discussion about EPROM burning and burners, e.g. for making a custom Kickstart, all people talk about using PCs for doing the job... how about "pure" Amiga, even for that?

I also know that there existed a german-oriented burner called Vesuv (by some manufacturer Rossmöller), which was suitable for C64/128 (via user port), Amiga, Atari 16bit and PC (via parallel port), but I can't locate its Amiga-specific software anywhere, nor any detailed info about the hardware itself...
