Not impossible, but it seems more likely that one of the address input
pad buffers failed.
You're probably right in that. On the other hand looking back on what I
wrote I see that I wasn't completely accurate in describing the symptom...
The symptom was that the upper 128 words was inclusive-OR:ed with the lower
128 words resulting in a quite strange upper 128 words. That was my reason
for suspecting the faulty address decoder.
Anyhow I have now ordered a bunch of Texas TBP24SA010 chips which I hope
the old Data I/O 29B will be able to program successfully.
Having just programmed some 24SA10's a couple of weeks back on a Data I/O
29B, I can report that you should be fine...
