MEMCAL failure

[Ken Kelly]

I would look very carefully at the socket and chip pins. It
sounds to me like your not getting a good connection in the
socket. I like to put the chip in a double header, then
remove and insert eproms by seperating the two headers. The
cheap sockets that are normally used dont stand up well to
frequent use.
