The nice thing about those EPROMS is that they don't mysteriously  
drop out of KISS mode unexpectedly.
Unfortunately KISS EPROM images are only available for TAPR TNC2s and  
their many clones (MFJ, DRSI. Paccomm, Symek).  These aren't easy to  
find anymore because some of the chips used have long been  
discontinued, however the Tiny-2 is still on Paccomm's web site.  MFJ  
1270s often show up at hamfests and swap meets.  There are even a few  
TNCs on ebay right now.
