Could be "read out" in that the same bistream could be programmed into

I likely do. If I find one, do you need it? I do not do wire wrap.
They were not all that bad when they came out, but time has not been
kind to them - almost all have corrosion issues, sort of like Nuvistor
sockets. I have a memory of seeing a gold plated version, but I might
be making that up.
