Ok, I see that I need this and that file for converting and editing the programming on the chip. But what I haven't found yet is how to actually get the info from the chip to my computer.

Do I take the chip out and plug it into...well..what do I plug it into?

I got an ECM pn 1227747 out of a fullsize pickup. It has the two separate chips in it. Do I re-use the chip or is it one time-write?

The large chip is the prom.
Your prom burner is what the prom will fit into to be read. But you have to take it out of the carrier first. Over at GNType.org they have a little article on how to do that. The plastic holders are discontinued so better get some spares for the junkyard.
Some of the oem chips can be a bear to erase again good idea to get a couple spares

 

I got a spare carrier, the ding dang chip in it broke while trying to get them apart. One of the pin broke off. I need to know what programmer to get. I think the chip is a Motorola 6803 or derivative.

Please read Traxion's Prom Buringing introduction article (look at the top of this page and click there). this will explain most of the questions you have. Once you have done that search the boards for any questions you have and if you can't find it please post your question and we'll do the best we can to help you out.

For spare Eproms got to www.jdr.com you are looking for 2732a eproms. when you order be sure to specify that you want Intel chips rather than the AMD one becuase they are too wide and junk most of the time.
