Point is, the ONLY custom chip is the EPROM, I have a shoe box full, but
don't have the TenTec Omni VI code.

My experience in field troubleshooting in the days of discrete
components and early TTL/CMOS was that 90% of problems always had a
relationship to a connection - be it an IC socket, bad solder joint, or
faulty multi-pin connection on the module level. I would always assume
at the beginning that the semiconductors are OK except when the board
smelled!
But with custom controller chips and the like that are flourishing
these days, I don't have the experience to comment on their reliability
one way or another. As I said earlier today, I'll talk to TT tomorrow
and try to get some information - and hopefully a TT employee might even
post a response to some of this.
