I'd like to ask the list, what kind of tools/porgrams do you use in order 
to
dump
  especially older device types as we can find it in
older computer 
equipment?
  A couple of years back, I was lucky to use an old
system at University in 
order to
  dump PAL and EPROM contents of my Onyx C8000 and from
a DEC DELUA
 board.
 But since then, I've never had accessibility to such tools and I'l like to
 obtain/purchase one in order to go on with programmable device content
 saving.
 Any suggestions? Hints? Experiences?
 Kind regards,
 Pierre 
I'm using a Data I/O 29B for the older stuff and a Willem for newer chips.
And I have an ELV IC- tester card for the TTL and CMOS IC's,  it works under
DOS.
The IC database is made in a Pascal like language so it's very easy to add
unknown types.
Works very well for me ..
