Don't worry, I'm not insulted at all. I believe I have the following ROM set (I'll double check in the morning): Location Part Number ------------------------------ H1 901447-09 H2 901447-03 H3 901447-05 H4 901447-06 H5 901447-02 H6 901447-04 H7 901447-07 And I have followed the above convention for placement. 09, 03, 05, 06, 02, 04 and 07 in that order. When I read the original ROMs in my burner I got the following: H1 - full of 00's H2 - good H3 - full of FF's H4 - good H5 - full of FF's H6 - full of FF's H7 - full of FF's so is it possible that H5, H6, ad H7 were not read correctly by my programmer. H3 also shows full FF's, but H1 read as full 00's...Could it be that H1 is the only one that is indeed dead? I'll remove the two 6520 PIAs, and I'll take a look on VCF for the voltages thread. Thanks again for your time.
