Hi,
Thanks for all the responses. I figured it was some type of
EPROM/EEPROM. There is a clear window on the chip itself. I dont know
why someone would want to pry open the IC itself. Maybe it was faulty
to begin with and they wanted to try to fix it?? As for getting a
replacement, this is probably going to be impossible. I specifically
dont know anyone else who would have one for me to dump and reload into
a new IC. This bites with a capital B! Its such a nice board too....
