Thanks for that Mike - since your post(s) I have been able to examine the 
source for both pieces of equipment. The one with the current failure uses the 
EEPROM only in an undocumented (as far as the customer is concerned) 
debug mode which requires soldering a link to activate it. I will have to write a 
warning in the internal docs about this.
The second piece of equipment can optionally use the EEPROM to identify 
each unit and /may/ be used by the customer, since the commands to 
read/write the ID are in the handbook. Again I will update the internal docs to 
highlight that a code mod will be required to init the EEARH reg if there are 
any future failures.
Again, sincere thanks for the heads-up - I would definitely have missed that ... 

regards,


George Smith
