The PIC7040 is a TMS7040  which GI most likely su bstitued their instrruction set 
and labeled with their own part number. One of its key selling point was that the 
customer could substitute their own instruction set for the TI's initial intruction set. 
So it may not be all that beneficial to extract teh code within the processor 
because of the potential of teh instruction set being non-standard TI 
instructionset. It is an 8 bit processor that has 0/2K/4K internal ROM (TMS7000,  
TMS7020, TMS7040).

In my opinion not worth trying to grab the code and decipher what makes it up. 
Better to start new with a HC11/HC12 or an AVR.
