Hi Bernhard,

Yes, I can imagine that just one bit could cause behaviours like this. If I had time, I could play with Teenix MultiCalc, and simulate errors in the ROM, but it would not help - just confirm ... Wink

I will send you a PM regarding your offer, resoldering the old ROM's should not be any problems.

BTW, do you know if it is easy to read out the contents from these Spice ROM's? I suspect they are serial ROMs, but checking the schematics, it might work to build a simple reader with a PIC or a Arduino maybe? It would be really satisfying to be able to find the actual fault and repeat the error in an emulator - at least just for fun!

Best regards,
Thomas
