as most of us
know, the IBM PC and PC/AT (I think) have extra rom
sockets. If you want to obtain a dump of an eprom, could you simply
plug them into these spare sockets and use Debug or whatever to
capture an image? Seems straitforward enough, but I figured it
wouldn't hurt to ask...
Perhaps - if you have such a machine. (I don't.)
I cobbled together a breadboard of TTL (mostly latches/counters and
muxes) which, with suitable software support on the host, lets me read
ROMs via a parallel port. It's not especially fast, but it's a good
deal faster than a serial line....I really need to transfer it from a
breadboard to something a bit more permanent. If there's interest I
can draw up a schematic and parts list....
