Thanks. The change of PROM on etch F also explain the note  "Aux control is
asserted one micro step earlier..." on page 91 in the schematic on
bitsavers.

Now I am convinced that if I program a new A04A2 PROM the machine should
behave much better. The interesting is when comparing the bad chip with the
list that approximately half of the nibbles are OK. Then the rest has
mostly one or two changed bits.

What are the failure modes of PROMs?

BTW. The failing chip was yet another NS chip in plastic
