I know Sparcom sells and programs them.  They might even program
quantity one cards.  See their address along with many other companies
at the end of this posting.

Yes, the 95 can't generate the 12 volts neede to program and erase
Flash EPROM cards.  The 5 volt Sundisk cards have special voltage
converters to take 5 volts up to 12 for erasing and programming.
