I'd think the EPROM data should be independent of the operating system.
Do you mean you have a UNIX binary for creating the EPROM data? Do you
have source code or does that source code exist? Most of the time C and
C++ (as well as Fortran) source codes can be moved from UNIX to DOS or
OS/2 easily. Just needs to be recompiled though if there's fanciness
about file name handling that needs some modification.

Alternatively, is there a definition of the code needed in the EPROM to
run the keying (I'm presuming a beacon IDer here)?

I run DOS, OS/2, Linux and windoze here on various computers. Right now
my computer for EPROM writing won't read any floppy disks so its a real
pain to get data into it for programming an EPROM unless the data can be
read from an EPROM and edited which I can do.
