it's the same here in Germany. A eprom simulator up to 512kB costs about
600,-DM (around $400), there is also a do it yourself kit
(simulates up to 128kByte) for 200,-DM (around $125). 

They both need the PC only for programming, after that they can work 
independent. On the other hand, a quick hack couldn't be that
difficult (thinking of an 8255, timing ?).
