So do EPROM/PAL programmers exist that are also capable of

haven't gone shopping for a programmer in years)
My Data I/O UniSite (purchased from a listmember) has dealt with
every bizarre chip I've thrown at it. The supported device list for
the current release of its software contains more than TWENTY
THOUSAND entries. I can't recommend them highly enough.
No 1702[A] support, though, sadly, but I have another programmer
for those. :)

What do people do regarding microcontrollers (old or
new) with
embedded ROM? I
mean an EPROM or PROM's just address lines and data, so
reasonably easy to
dump - but presumably life's a bit more difficult when the ROM is
local to the
CPU...
If the protection is not set, you can read just like a EPROM
microcontroller. If it is set...well, there are ways, but it is
something hard to do :)
