Let me know how it goes.  Worst case, maybe I'll take a look at it if you 
want Rich.  I also have some stock of the Z80, 5380, PLCC ROM, GALs, etc. 
I've found that for some reason the 574s and a couple of the right-hand side 
ICs along with the GALs blow out.  I guess they are linked in such a way 
that they take the brunt of hit.

Here's two I've done:

The first one I had to replace all but one of the ICs.  What fun that was! 
That card was in really sad shape.  The second one really wasn't a repair. 
I was just reading the ROM and GALs.  Thanks to Macdog for that one!
