Thanks for the clarification Chris, as I mentioned I work with Atmel and
Microchip MCU's, so I wasn't 100% sure on the Motorola unit.

well, no. Not exactly. The SPI on these devices is not used to program or
in any way access the EPROM on the devices without the 6805 participating
in such transfers.
They do have a ROM that facilitates programming and dumping of the EPROM
and it does this through the serial (SCI) port. However they also have
a security bit which if set, prevents verifying and dumping the EPROM.
So, you _could_ dump the EPROM, via the serial port, using the on-chip
ROM code but only if that security bit has not been programmed.
Here's the datasheet:

section 9.4.8 on page 115 discusses dumping the EPROM...
