I'd pass on the 29-B unless you're into antique test equipment.  There's
a list floating around somewhere that shows what chips are compatible
with which plugins for the 29B.  If you start at www.dataio.com and poke
around you'll see an email address for a guy who supports obsolete Data
I/O products, he can also tell you what it's good for.  There's a
program called promlink that talks to the 29B over a serial port and can
download prom images.  I think you can get a needham's scratch-n-dent
for about that price.

I had a 29B myself a few months ago but chose to unload it (ha ha ha) on
a list member rather than mess with it.
