Just because the machine is old, doesn't mean the chips are old. Check the date codes on the chips. When I replace chips in old machines, I try to use chips of approximately the same date. Some surplus electronics dealers sell used chips and components, so it is possible to get old chips for old equipment, but you don't get to specify the date. - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
