Can MACH chips be dumped? They're just FPGA-style programmable chips, right?
I even don't comment about dumping (who is a kind of
piracy, for your information). Please, don't take wrong, I'm just informing you. I dislike flame wars more than any other thing. So we now can move to next paragraph.
No, the MACH chips (as PIC, GAL and equivalents) are [color=ff0000]read-protected(!)[/color]. You can burn your (or someone else's) code (if the protection bit/fuse is not set), but not read it after the process.[/b]
So, no, you can't dump it.
