Re: [bc2000] Looking for a dead BCR2000 or the dump of the EEPROM of a working one (or not)

From my point of view, it's less time, money and effort to buy another BCR2000 for $85 on EBay and part your damaged one out for parts.....I certainly as would others, love to buy some replacement encoders.....at $3 to $5 each, you have made more than the cost of the second BCR2000....

Alright, so I've identified the EEPROM, SST39SF040, and I've got the datasheet for it.
Tho it seems I have to manage 16 address pins and 8 data pins to dump the data, that's going to be pretty difficult without an eeprom reader!
Any thoughts?
