I was beginning to suspect as much as my attempts got nowhere.

My board has two empty spots with holes filled with solder.
That is not really a problem as I have a professional solder
sucker.  :-)  I assume these might have to do with addressing.
Then there are four that I suspect are the memory chips and
they are surface mount.  Not so sure I want to delve into
that as my eyes aren't what they used to be.  I guess the
first step would be to see if the chips are even available.
