The latter is the case.  If you program both lock bits, you cannot
read the EEPROM from within the programmer, but of course the program
itself still can read (and write) it.

However, it should not appear as `blank' to the programmer (which
would mean it displays as 0xff), instead it should read out with
values equal to the address (i. e., EEPROM address 0 reads out as 0,
address 1 reads out as 1, etc.).  In the programming algorithm, a
locked device will always echo back the given address value, in the
bit places where an unlocked device would return the memory contents.
