prom replacements?

I have a nice old HP 5340A counter that isnt working. A little peeking at signals shows that the two state-machine control PROMS are loopy. They output "1"s all the time. Luckily the service manual lists the data that used to be in them. So burning new ones is a possibility. But:

They're old old 16-pin proms, 5 address lines by eight bits out.

Inputs on 10-14, outputs on 1-8 and 9.

Does anyone know of anything with a similar pinout?

Our do I have to make a 27C16 to this pinout adapter?

Thanks,

A_H

82S23 SN74S188 (open collector) 82S123 SN74S288 (tri-state outputs)

There's probably a dozen other part numbers from the various manufacturers in the mid 1970's, but these are probably the most common.

If they are, the OP should check pin 15 to be sure that the devices are being enabled. From my experiences, when a '288 goes south, it's outputs tend to drive low.

Thanks to all for the info and kind offers.

One problem though-- the manual I got from the Agilent site seems to have been partly OCR'ed-- and the tables of data for the PROMS has a few garbled and missing bits!!! What a bummer!!

Does anyone have an actual manual for the 5340A? Or a PROM dump?

Multitudinous thanks in advance,

In the absence of a printed manual or a PROM programmer, why not verify the contents of your own PROMs using a little jig consisting of

5 DIP switches and, if necessary, 8 pullup resistors and 8 LEDs?

Try contacting this guy, he may have the image and tools to build the proms.
