Bally E2000 EPROM Questions
« on: May 08, 2015, 06:19:24 PM »
While troubleshooting a narrow body E2209-44 machine that threw a malfunction code, I discovered an odd checksum on a 659183 P1 chip ending with 20. Replaced it with a different P1 chip, now the CPU is fully functional. The P2 chip on this machine is a 000900. This slot, as I'm told by Barry at Foxslotts, uses unusual and proprietary EPROMs, no data available. I can find no reference to these EPROMs anywhere, as the E755 chips are numbered -64, -65, and -66. All of the E machines I have use -80, -47, -48 and/or -102 M chips plus various 2701 and 3701 P2 chips.

Trying to find a pattern with the data in the Bally EPROMs. After looking at dozens of them, I have concluded that, in summing the data, the checksums on each have a distinct footprint that can't be changed. I have reason to believe that any deviation whatsoever in those checksums will result in an error code, preventing power-up.

M1, M2, M3 and P2: All checksums end in 00 (least significant bits), so typical checksums would be AF00 or something.
P1: always ends in 56, typical checksum would be 2F56 or something similar.

EDIT: I did find one P1 chip whose sum ended in 60 instead of 56 and is fully functional on a machine I have. Now I'm totally confused.

Can any of you Bally experts shed some light on this?

Try reading it with lower voltage,it maybe help for you.
Put one or two  seriel diode to VCC  (it will drop 0,6-0,7 or 1,2 -1,4 Volt lower VCC  ) while reading eprom content.

my documentation shows the 64 65 66 eproms are "DMI INTERNATIONAL - CUSTOM VERSION"
