after you pull the chip from the board to put the socket in, is the old chip any good?
i don't know if the heat from desoldering will wipe the info or not

you need a different chip. It has to be a EPROM... not a PROM. The factory isn't really reprogrammable...

Depending on how good you are at pulling the old EPROM, yes it can be reused, but it will need to be erased with an ultraviolet light first.
99% of the computers I have socketed are EPROMS. The only ones I have seen that arent erasable are some of the 86 T1s, with one chip being a OTP and the other being a EPROM.
I have been able to read and save the bin from the chips that I have pulled thus far. One from an LM and another from an SBEC.
