What got you interested in the platform?

TL866 +27C400 adapter for it and a bunch of such roms. This is all very cheap to get in china. If your socket is bigger than the current rom, you can also get 27C800 for 1MB. I don't remember which Amiga supported that, but the A500+ and A600 do for sure.
Absolutely do not use the official tools (pic related), as they do FTDI-like shenanigans to fight clones and to fight open source (literally).

So just get it on china and use the open source programmer software:

I used this software and my TL866 to burn Amiga EPROMs successfully.
Just remember to test rom on emulator (burned a bad rom once!) and to swab the bytes before burning. dd conv=swab will do that for you.
