You keep posting the same question in different forum headings.

(1) If the chip you have is marked EPM7128E AND it has its security fuse set, you CANNOT read it. End of story. You can ONLY erase and reprogram it. In any event you will need a programmer that handles the device (like the EEtools TopMax series) with the CORRECT PLCC84 adapter. The -E device can only be programmed out of circuit.

(2) You can't arbitrarily try and access the device as an EPM7128S (which is JTAG, in-circuit programmable) if the chip is marked EPM7128E. The -S series is an updated version of the -E series which has JTAG in-circuit programmability.
