Fellow techies,
I've got a nice item of Z80-based, 1986-vintage, telephone test gear that I'm
trying to restore to working condition.
The CPU board, as it currently stands, uses a pair of TI 2532 EPROM chips for program
memory. I suspect both chips have become borderline in terms of their timing tolerances,
so I need to replace these with the more readily available 2732, of which I have plenty.
The pinout between the two chips is slightly different, thanks to the fact that the 2532
has only one enable line and the 2732 has two. I've come up with an idea for
conversion, but I'd really like to get a sanity check on it, preferably from someone
with an original TI data book that covers the 2532.
Here's what I've got so far, based on comparing the pinouts of the two devices.
(1) Move the trace originally connected to pin 18 (A11) on the 2532 up to pin 21, which
appears to be A11 on the 2732.
(2) Tie pin 18 to pin 20 so that, on the replacement 2732, both /CE and /OE are asserted
simultaneously.
Did I miss anything?
Thanks much.
