This (PAL16L8) is not a ROM chip, rather, it's a chip with logic gates that are interconnected with ROM-like fuse links. Looking at the chip from a black box point of view it's a logic function. Is there a way to copyright how a bunch of logic gates are interconnected? >Shouldn't you be able to read each byte of the ROM and save it to >a file, much like the programs that copy Mac ROMs. Then, couldn' tyou >take that ROM file and dump it to a new EPROM? Again. it's not a ROM, but the copying method would be similar. Luckily this PLD does not have registers.
