David, I went to double check if I physically have 2564 or 2764 and I
discovered all the ROMs were in the wrong spots but not backwards like the
ram chips earlier.  Wow.  I corrected my TMS2564JS ROMs according to what
looked like original stickers. I rebooted and had for the first time a
continuous beep.  The LEDs all stayed on with a dead screen.  I shut it
off. On second boot the beep was gone but the front panel was the same.
Overall no improvement.  The physical chip numbers match the schematic's
part number.

I ordered the MiniPro TL866CS USB in the Plus version to burn the ROMs. It
will arrive on 4/1. Is it worth it to erase/reprogram the same ROM or
should I just replace/program them.

Rick
