Anyone interested in an Arduino based ROM dumper?
tobiasbp:
Hello forum.
I'm considering building a ROM dumper based on the Arduino. Initially I would support the Mitsubishi M5L 2716K as it's on one of my boards. My own interest is in older boards/ROMs only.
* I wonder if anyone but me would be interested in such a thing?
* What other chips should I consider adding support for?
* Did someone allready build such a thing?

I think most anybody who has to deal with ROMs already has a programmer supporting 100's if not 1000's of chips.
it's not an issue to use them to dump the ROM contents. On the software for my programmer it's simply a press of the read button right above the write button.
:dunno an arduino + parts to interface to the computer is likely going to cost more than a Chinese eBay programmer is going to be. :dunno

Can you supply a link to such a "chinese" programmer? What is the linux support on that type of device I wonder?

for $27US shipped. I'm not sure about linux support. you'd have to inquire with the manufacturer about that. I know nothing of this programmer. This was just the first example I found that supports your particular chip. (plus a couple hundred others)
But, like most things, you get what you pay for. you could have a continuously supported programmer of exceptional quality for $1000+ but have something that has manufacturer support, warranty etc.

I like the cheap Chinese crap. Usually when I have to get some odd ball thing it's a one use deal or it's for experimentation. That "99 cents + free shipping" tech on ebay is great for that kind of thing.
Just don't put it in the now non-existent space shuttle. ;)
