I can't picture this, as it's been a few years since I've seen one. But most dip resistor packs come in one of 2 forms: 1 lead common, 15 resistors 8 pairs of resistors across the package, so to speak. (It sounds as if this may be a SIP pack, however.) If you have access to another board, you could use a DVM in low-ohms mode to trace out the pack. Or, you could measure the bad pack, guessing that only SOME of the 'r's are damaged. Extrapolate from there. Another approach would be to call Allen Bradley or another resistor pack mfgr. (Not a dealer, the factory!) Maybe they can identify it. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.....wb8foz@mthvax.cs.miami.edu & no one will talk to a host that's close............(305) 255-RTFM Unless the host (that isn't close)......................pob 570-335 is busy, hung or dead....................................33257-0335
