Then somehow you have to make the contents of the EPROM visible. Maybe
you are using an EPROM that's larger than the slot and the wrong half
or quarter of the EPROM is enabled by the high address lines that are
hardwired to +5 or maybe GND. Or maybe the EPROM is not fast enough
to return the info when the CPU wants it. If you find a problem and a
solution not in the troubleshooting guide, please email it to me so I
can improve the document.
