Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

I own a mind machine from 1990 with CPU Motorola MC68705P3S (28 pin DIL, eprom based microcontroller with 2KB) and grainy POKEY-like tekkno noises. I want to backup it to prevent bitrot, but my eprommer (Willem Pro 4 isp) does not support it.

I only found a dead link about the tech details:
http://matthieu.benoit.free.fr/pdf/How_to_read_the_MC68705U3_EPROM.pdf

Does anybody know how to build an adapter or other *simple* DIY circuit to dump its rom contents?

This may be a good lace to start, but probably isn't exactly what you need.
http://ppep.sourceforge.net/schemas.php

You may try posting this message in the Nuts & Volts forums,
as well as Circuit Cellar. I would be surprised if this project hasn't been in those magazines. Dumping roms was quite common and isn't that complicated (although I've never built a circuit to do that, I always had access to a commercial rom burner).

Try googling/binging for other variations of "build rom reader", build eeprom reader", etc.

There are 1000's of DIY sites out there that are likely to have the resources you need.

The PPEP thing doesn't look too different from the Willem eprommer.
By the way, the French dead link seems to work again. They describe a mechanism that counts clock cycles and such complex stuff to conclude bits by a hacked write-verify mode (simulated writing without Vpp voltage), and it fails to read the last byte. On the French website is plenty of unsorted info (partly in French language only). There is also schematics for a copier device (a bit much work for me to wirewrap that thing to only read one chip - I have no access to PCB making equipment).

- Is there an easier way (e.g. Willem adapter) to read this microcontroller?
