Thanks, but are you sure it's not the 5th from the rear? I took out a
4164 and piggybacked it over the chips one by one and it tested good
when sitting on ARD3, which is 5th from the rear. I'm getting set to
desolder that one now and try putting in another. See what happens.
If not, then I'll try the 5th from front. Since IIc's are plentiful now, I
can see no reason to spend too much time on this one, but it's still
fun to mess with.

Thanks again,
