I guess I wrote that a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly the way
I did research into this was to attach a 40 pin DIP clip connected to my
logic snalyzer on on the various MICROM chips and there were no activity at
all when the board got out of RESET. Then I removed one chip at a time to
see if there were any difference. This particular chip made a difference.
After removing it there were busactivity.

I have not yet got around trying with -3.9V Bias chips to see if that make
the board run better.

If your board is the later E etch then it has 3.9V bias and you could
directly use chips from a KD11-HA board.
