They are by Cypress Semiconductor. Anyhow, they don't check out on a blank-check, even after erasure for over 1 hour. The 150ns variety (different mfr. - AM..). The zero check yields 'found 00, looking for FF'. The program verify also does not check out. Haven't tried to see if programmed chips work yet. Anyone else see this? Suggestions, other than 'we told you so..'? What, do I need slower chips?

BTW, the 27128 is the only chip I've had problems with.  All the
problems went away after switching programs.
HTH.
