Yep. If there /is/ anything on either of those
that I'm missing, let
me know, but I swear I've looked.
So here's a semi-stupid question; having just acquired a Data I/O
EEPROM programmer which is also fairly adept at dumping EEPROMs, is
it possible to use the Data I/O to dump the VT100 rom in question?
That is, if I choose a PROM or EEPROM type that's compatible with the
type of ROM in use on the VT100 board, is it likely that I'll be able
to read it on the programmer like a standard PROM/EEPROM? I'm kinda
new at this particular corner of the hardware field so I have no
idea... can someone set me straight?
Absolutely...that's a pretty common use of such device programmers.
