Reading and programming

[jsrfo]

I am extremely new to this topic and brand new to this forum.

I am looking to read a pre-programmed 8 pin processor, and then use that information to program others. Is this at all possible, and if so, could someone point me to the documentation on how to do it?

I appreciate it, and really hate being the new guy. As you can tell, I'm pretty green at this.

This is very much possible, though (and I may be wrong on this), don't different pin processors use different opcodes, and such? Anyway, I'm sure there is one person on here who is skilled enough in hardware programming to answer your question, but I fear that they won't see this in time (mShred), so, your question might be best asked at the Tom's Hardware Forum.
